Any corn growing tips?

S. loves the idea of tiny little tomatoes but tiny little corn wasn't really my idea.
We planted it thinking how we could decorate the front door with the stalks but it also would be nice if some juicy corn would actually "spring forth" too.
T's suggestion, after seeing the sad corn cobs, was that we should ask God to bless it for us.
A giant area to plant in, easy access to inexpensive water and plenty of sunshine already.
No swarms of bugs have come through and no wild animals have dug it up.
Quite blessed already, I think.
I told him we just need to study up on corn, he was unconvinced as usual.
Ah, the faith of a Child.

1. Isa. 61: 11
   For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
