The seeds have germinated well, and for now, the plants are beautiful and growing well. I haven't harvested or tasted them yet.

Description
The Tasty sweet trophy F1 sweetcorn is an early variety that has good cold resistance. The cobs are yellow, 20 cm (8in) long, sweet and tasty, delicious raw or cooked. Sowing under cover is done in April/May and in open ground in May/June. Harvesting takes place from August to September.
Sweetcorn likes deep, light, moist and humus-rich soils. Sweetcorn prefers sunny locations and requires warmth. When planted along the edges of vegetable gardens, they can help delineate growing areas and provide shade for vegetables that need it (lettuce, cabbage, etc.).
Sweetcorn is a natural variant of maize. It has many nutritional benefits: low in fats, fewer calories, but higher in protein than rice, and five times richer in fiber. Its glycemic index is moderate. Additionally, it contains numerous B-group vitamins and vitamin C. It also contains a variety of minerals and trace elements.
Harvesting: Sweetcorn is harvested 80 to 120 days after sowing depending on the heat and watering, when the silks start to turn brown. The kernels should be well developed but still tender. To determine if they are ripe, take a few from an ear and crush them: they should be slightly milky. If harvested too late, the sugar turns into starch and the skin becomes tough.
Storage: After harvesting, remove the green husk that surrounds the cob and consume it quickly. To store them for longer, cook them and then preserve them in jars or freeze them.
Gardener's tip: Traditionally, Native Americans cultivate maize in association with climbing beans and squash. These three plants benefit each other: nitrogen nutrition from the beans, support from the maize, and ground cover from the squash leaves. First, sow the maize. When it reaches 10 cm (4in) in height, sow two bean seeds and two squash seeds around the maize.

Planting and care
Sowing sweet corn:
Sow the corn in full sun after soaking the seeds in warm water for 12 hours. In the garden, sow from April to June in well-warmed soil (at least 12°C (53.6°F)). You can install a tunnel over early sowings until the temperatures warm up enough. You can start sowing in pots, indoors, as early as March, and plant them in May-June in the garden. Remember to stagger your sowings to spread out the production period. Only sow one variety at a time, or two varieties with staggered flowering: corn hybridizes very easily and you would not harvest the variety you sowed. If your garden is less than 200 m (656ft) from a cornfield, you will need to protect your crop during flowering.
To sow in rows, dig furrows 3 cm (1in) deep, 70 cm (28in) apart. Sow thinly. After germination, thin to 25-30 cm (10-12in) along the row. If you are only sowing a small number of plants, sow them in a square rather than one or two long rows, pollination will be better ensured.
To sow indoors, place 2-3 seeds per pot in seed compost, mixed with a little compost. Then plant out the strongest seedling.
Cultivating sweet corn:
Corn likes rich soils: add manure or compost when preparing the soil, in the previous autumn, to enrich the area intended for sowing. The roots are shallow, so hoeing should be very superficial. To promote anchoring, hill up the corn when it reaches 20 cm (8in), then 40 cm (16in) in height. Water regularly if it does not rain (once a week), and cover the soil with mulch to retain moisture (grass clippings, straw...).
To facilitate pollination, when the female flowers (located two-thirds up the stem) turn beige, shake the plant. This way, the pollen from the male flower (located at the top of the stem) will fall onto the female flowers.
The corn borer caterpillar, a destructive moth of corn, sometimes burrows into the stems, causing them to break. As a preventive measure, crush the crop waste before using it (compost or mulch). Practice proper crop rotation by not growing corn in the same plot for 3 or 4 years. In case of severe infestation, you can spray a solution of Bacillus thuringiensis.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
