I'm curious if anyone has experience growing quad sweet corn varieties like Temptress, Nectar, Gold Standard, or Diamond Mine. Last year, I grew Honey Select and it was by far the best corn I've ever had from my garden, producing 700 ears after years of growing Peaches and Cream and Bodacious. I'm wondering if these quad sweet varieties can outshine Honey Select in terms of taste and sweetness. Any insights?

I've never tried any of the quad sweets before; it's actually the first time I've heard about them! I usually grow Silver Queen and have been pretty happy with it. From what I've read, those quad sweets might be worth a shot if you're looking for something new.
I attempted to grow some quad sweets but unfortunately, the army worms got to them before I could even sample them. I've heard that Honey Select is less prone to worm issues compared to Peaches and Cream and Bodacious, so you might be onto something there.
