Hi all,
I'm keen to grow two sweetcorn varieties this year- Sparrow F1, and Double Red.
Is it OK to plant them pretty close to each other, or will something bad happen if they cross pollinate? I'm not too worried about saving true seed (although if the Double Red turns out as good as it sounds then I might give it a try) but I've heard that the flavour might be affected by pollination- anyone have experience of this?
Cheers!
