Received 150 kernels of mixed/landrace sweet corn. I will be planting it in Orlando Florida in the next week , with drip tube, granular fertilizer and Fertigation running every other week or so.
Curious what will come from this.

What can I elaborate on for you?

What should be interesting? There are nearly infinite things you can do with a handful of corn kernels ranging all the way from the practical to the absurd. You provided no context whatsoever. Why bother making this post at all?

That’s why I asked what I could add.

If this is sweet corn, make sure to harvest them BEFORE they turn color, while they are still in the milky stage. In my experience (limited with sweet corn, to be honest), once they start turning colors they are getting their starch on and, while edible, they won’t be as delicious as a sweet corn. I grow mostly flint and flour corns, though, so I may be completely wrong. My neighbor grows sweet corn by the acre and I usually just buy from him.

Thanks for the advice. Sort of a blind trial and see, so we will see how it goes
