Mine are only half the size they were this time last year. Not sure the season is going to be long enough to get matured cobs now 

Were they sown outside? Mine sown in the greenhouse and planted out are looking pretty good despite the lack of sunshine.

Mine are currently chest high and the male flowers are just becoming visible down the 'tube'. Best looking plants I can remember growing. Let's just hope for some sunshine from now on so they can ripen well.

No planted indoors and then out first week in June at about ten inches. I'm in the top end of North Yorkshire and it hasn't been great here.

My sweetcorn plants are looking really strong but they're not flowering yet. Many things are definitely late and others have given up the ghost.

The male tassels on mine are just starting to make an appearance - that's good news from the timing point of view, but although the plants look strong they are only about 2' tall, which seems a tad short for this variety (Earlibird.)

Grew the same variety last year and the first cobs weren't ready until late September , and many just ran out of time to fully ripen.

Those that did make it were delicious though - will just have to cross fingers and hope that the weather is more sweetcorn-friendly than last year, especially at pollination time.

I've given up on trying to get success outdoors here in the Frozen North. I grow them in the polytunnel. Mine are about 8ft high and have been flowering for a couple of weeks. No sign of any cobs yet though

My sweetcorn is doing very well this year.
I've grown Golden Bantam for many years now and always does well.
All the plants are a good five to six feet tall and plenty of flowering tassles started before the weekend.
I'm sure the heatwave that started today down here is going to give them a real big surge.

Last year I kept a few back and sort of stunted them in small pots and today will be pulling up half of the broad beans, so the stunted ones will go in there. There are still about 2.5 feet tall. Worked well last year and got loads of good quality sweetcorn in September and early October.
Only did it this way as wanted to use up the full packet and as sweetcorn takes up a lot of space, thought this was the best way.

I noticed male flowers just beginning to come through today.

Well they've put another couple of inches on in the last two days, so us Yorkshire folk might make it yet. Going to be a scorcher tomorrow so I'm hoping for a foot on by Friday
