Next time you cook some, add a cup of sugar to the water you boil it in and
see if that will help. It does sometimes for me. It doesn't answer your
question, but might make it taste better.

I am a fairly experienced gardener but this is my first year growing

an
hour between cutting and cooking. I have been sampling some every few
days
for a couple of weeks but the result is the same, the texture when
cooked
is
heavy and chewy (despite the kernels looking good) and the flavour is
bland
and not sweet (despite the variety being supposedly very sweet).

So what's wrong? Is it too young, too old or some other thing?

What variety did you plant?

Boron

Kelvedon Glory which is an F1 hybrid.
