I showed our corn last year where that in the shade was half the size of the rest.
This is a new 'slant'!
very instructive :o - I remember your 'shade' pic from winter too
everything at 45% if not flattened, if not staked, on the plot today here :-[
PS That, by the way, is from being near a high wall - unseen on the left - the North - as opposed to being 'in the shade'.
Half of mine have lodged, despite being nowhere near a wall. We're a wee bit exposed.
I am going to errect a fence covered with scaffold netting as a wind break.
Mine was still standing when I looked at it last but I'm not sure I want to go down the Lottie after the winds of the last two days!
;D
there can be nowhere that has had more typhoon than we have here in the last 2 days! ::)
everythings still upright-tomatoes are at a funny angle but still redeemable i think!

All's well that................
But why?? The sun, if anything, has been diminishing. Nothing else has changed.
So it wasn't the light - it was the wind. It's just happened again!!
Left is North - but it was a south wind coming back off the house wall.
Some of mine's been blown about by the breeze today as well.
