It might not be too late - some varieties are bred to mature more quickly / stated to be suited to more northern climes, and you may find they are fine.  If you have seeds already, I'd give it a go.

Alternatively, see whether your local market or car boot sale has some plants you can get hold of.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

Similar thing happened to me 2 weeks ago, out of 30 in paper pots I was left with about 9, I sowed my last 5 in the heated propagator, and 4 have germinated and don't look too bad, but I don't think all 13 of mine will survive, I lost a few last year when planting out, so not the amount of corn I'd hoped for. ::)

I would go buy some Newby like Yorkie says , some good quality ones to be picked up cheap if u look around.
I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

You could try Freecycle as well as there are often some very kind people out there who will help you out when they know you need it.
