Mine seem to be swelling really well - and earlier than last year.

I planted three varieties of sweetcorn this year, 'Bantam' which is an early one and the cobs are already formed and doing very well, :)

my sweetcorn is a bit of a disaster this year not many survived the transplanting & they are developing very slowly :'(

Mine haven't even put out tassels yet, let alone silks. Lovely happy bonny plants though.

A few of mine have put out silks. They look as though they'll be OK.
