Looking for a replacement for Kelvedon Glory F1, which seems not to be available from any of the usual seed companies anymore... this year I tried Sativa Early, but it wasn't very good, very tough kernels and not sweet at all... anyone got a recommendation - Southern Scotland, but will be grown in polytunnel and germinated in small pots in propagator.

We've tried quite a few Anke, but have had the best results with a variety known as 'tinned' I'm afraid :-\

I often use premier seeds on ebay for my supplies...and usually go for 2-3 different sweetcorn varieties.. partly 'cos I usually plant 150-200 and partly on the theory that if it's a bad year for one...

That's exactly what I do and exactly who I get my seed from!

Many thanks. Will order from them. Not come across them before, usually use Organic Catalogue, but they seem to have reduced their F1 varieties quite drastically. I do buy from Realseeds too, but I have found with sweetcorn an F1 seems to be safer, and realseeds don't do F1...

I'm trying "Double Standard" and "Double Red" from The Real Seed Catalogue this year
