Mum,
Most good seed companies will label the seeds as either sweet corn (su),
Sugar enhanced (se) or super sweet (sh2) . Anything labelled super sweet
needs to be isolated from the other corn varieties. If foreign corn pollen
fertilizes a super sweet, the result is usually a starchy, cow corn.
It doesn't sound like either of your varieties are super sweet but just
double check your packet.
