Apart from a few hot days, the weather has been cold and not suiting sweet corn even under a low tunnel as the soil would be getting cold at night. It will probably respond to warm days.
Sweet corn is best raised indoors from seed sown in mid-April and planted out.
When seeds do not come up at all, it is usually bad seed. If you have any left, test a few on damp tissue indoors. If they don’t sprout, the seed was dead.
