I'd whack them in now. With any luck, you'll have missed the dreaded blight that's affected everyone else, and have a worthwhile crop still. Won't be huge, but will be better than nothing, that's for sure.

Sweetcorn. Three lots, first two scoffed by mice within twelve hours of sowing, third lot in the bath failed to germinate in sympathy for their lost brothers! Gave up, but since we haven't seen the sun here since, probably a good thing! Actually slightly concerned that we may get some blight this year, but only slightly!
