Re: Stalk collapse

I had it also in the spring after loads of rain, when the soil is so wet and the root system still underdevelopped for some, when they get a bit high, unstalked, they fall because their roots just slips out of the muddy clay!

Just thought I'd pass along my experience this past spring.  Several of the stalks in my garden grew too fast.  Many hit the ground in the first wind.  I get a lot of wind.  This year was the first time I lost crosses to broken stalks in this manner, six of them.  This spring I'll carry stakes with me.  Better to over stake than lose crosses.
