How knowledgeable about sweetcorn are you folks?
I find a lot of guff is spouted about the 'types' of sweetcorn and the varieties that can be grown together.
I like sweetcorn Swift F1 which Garden Focussed classify as sugar enhanced (se/se+) but Kings and Simplyseed classify as shrunken (sh2)
As DT Brown had a sale and I saw that sweetcorn Picasso was a synergistic type and (they say) could be grown with any other, I ordered some, thinking to experiment a little.
Looking at some other site in the US it says that synergistic corn should be isolated from sh2.
I'm now in a quandary, the garden isn't big enough for two incompatible types, but I might succeed with successional sowing so the two types don't flower at the same time.
Some days life gets complicated. I may just stick with Swift.
Anyone know any different?
