"Kelvedon Glory which is an F1 hybrid." I am not familiar with this
cultivar. If it is a supersweet (SH2) cultivar, and it gets cross
pollinated by any regular corn cultivar, The results are a tough chewy,
flavorless mess. Supersweets have to be isolated.

Even grown isolated, SH2 supersweets are (to my taste) not tender enough
and not 'corny' enough, just very sweet. I prefer the SE varieties, especially
bicolars, like Lancelot: more corn flavor, and very tender.
