They should grow all right, don't listen to anybody. 8)

F1 means seeds, well some of them, won't be like parents, so a bit of a bingo and lottery. You don't know what the cobs will taste like, that's all.

Only complication with sweet corn is about supersweet, sugar inhanced, which do not grow well together, so it's just wait and see, I know people who have their own sweetcorn strain saving seed like that, so look forward to a field experiment. :wink:
