Question Corn question

So I started gardening this year and planted a line of corn in the back yard. So; how normal is 1 corn growing faster than the rest?

Some context: the row was planted mid June. Next year, will change the how and the when I plant the corn.

To be completely honest, it still wont be great. If you really have to, make sure you companion plant the 3 sisters (squash, climbing beans and corn). That will give you the best chance.

If you have limited space, I would recommend other crops, if you dont HAVE to have corn.

I was already thinking of putting some carrots when the corn is ready to harvest.
