I used my fruit bed for onions last year and all was well. I'm like you nowhere prepared as still weeding as I didn't get to my plot for about a month through work

I don't see the problem with putting them there, needs must an all that

They like muck, and if they get fed properly they should be fine

None at all, provided you can still get them in in some sort of 'block' formation & allow for a bit of sprouting room for the goosegogs.

Feed them well to reduce the competition from the goosegogs. Sweetcorn are quite hungry plants !
