Mine are Sweet Nugget and about 3ft high. The tassels have been out for a couple of weeks and the silks are appearing on each though the cobs are skinny at the moment. They aren't as big as my green-fingered neighbour's (I have to walk past his more than impressive plot every time I visit (cries)) but not bad for my first attempt I think.

JayG how come you have your sweetcorn in one row?

They are in a double row - unless it's me that needs glasses

Looks like a square to me

If only Reg Presley were alive today  <sigh>. He'd know what shape it was.
Reg is one of the reasons sweet corn is my favourite crop to grow. I'll post some photos of mine tomorrow.

My first time this year too, cant remember what variety though. they are about 3 foot high at the moment and the tassels are still hidden in the leaves. (no idea what to expect from them but the weathers getting hotter again thursday so hopefully it will stay that way for a while)

I'm growing Lapwing and Golden Hind and their both about 4ft high with tassels beginning to go brown.

I looked up about cross-pollination to see how far apart I should plant the two varieties and the received wisdom seemed to be "400 yards"! If that's true then I'm going to get cross pollination from every other patch on the allotment site so I didn't worry, just planted them in blocks as far as was sensible.

I'm really pleased with my sweet corn, especially as I was so late planting them out.  They're not quite as good as your JayG but they're not far off, catching up.  To my eye there's only a couple of plots with better specimens on my site and they do keep getting remarked on.  Happy to say the least.

Basically, it's all about. Good soil and loads of water, it appears.

It's me wot needs glasses Mum! 

I know it doesn't look like it in the pic, and David Bailey I ain't, but there are actually 7 rows, 3 across (plus one for luck, nearest the camera - 22 plants altogether, about a foot apart in each direction.)

My Fiesta sweetcorn, which is supposed to be a late maturing multi-coloured variety, are doing better than the Double Standard at the moment 

I can't wait for the crop either JayG, so whichever is ready earlier is fine by me

I usually grow extra early,tender and sweet i think thats what its called,but its never ready before september up here in cumbria.Its pollinating at the moment but weve been getting some heavy rain so who knows how it will turn out.
When i plant out i usually hoe a little soil wall around them so i can dump a load of water on if its dry and the wall holds it in as it seems to like a lot of water.

"Early Extra Sweet F1" (?)  - a super sweet variety ready in September.

I'm growing Lark - unfortunately my first batch of germinations was a disaster and it was well into June when I decided to try again.  Germinated well, potted on - then the heatwave hit.  Not complaining as this actually encouraged them to grow very quickly and I wish I'd had a time lapse camera set up to see them doubling up in height every day.  Finally planted out 3 footers at the plot about 10 days ago once I'd emptied the first earlies bed, with high expectations as I noted everyone elses on the site were about the same ... I just hope I'm not disappointed.

[Beetroot queen]

Mine sounds like they are behind everyone elses  i'll keep my pics under wraps then

[Growing4mykids]

Swift are about 4 ft tall with the tassels just starting to show, nice thick stems 

[boldondig]

Sweet corn - Honeydew - Germinated early in the airing cupboards - put into pots in a cold frame - then planted out at the end of May. A week or so before picking I reckon......

[maxie]

They are well on boldondig,how big are the plants when you plant at the end of may?
