Your best bet for fresh corn is to buy from a local farm stand-- It gets starchy after picking, and some grocery store produce has traveled a long way. (My grandfather used to say that the best corn-on-the-cob was obtained by boiling a big pot of water and then picking the corn.)

Corn is generally a summer crop, but depending on weather, which hybrid is planted and how far north you are, there can be huge variation. First crop is approximately 125 days (4 months!) after emergence, which in northern states with short growing seasons mean no corn until as late as mid-August.
