Sweetcorn: Sundance F1

I'm slightly disappointed with this variety. The cobs are about 7" long, but the top inch or more have no kernels. I don't think it's a pollination issue as the kernels are evenly set on all of them. Flavour is good as you'd expect from a super-sweet but I've had larger cobs. Very few double cob plants too.

It hasn't been a good year for sweet corn at all, the crop is very late and the plants were beaten down badly by midsummer rain. Still, most plants did produce an edible cob. The squirrels have been attacking them too, which is very annoying.
