Can you grow these two types of corn the the same garden?The indian corn takes longer to mature. I have already planted my sweet corn and want to wait another week before I plant the indian corn. This will give me a larger space between each maturing. Thanks for the help.

I do no that, if you plant your sweet corn next to your indian corn some of the sweet corn will be pollinated by the indian corn, it will not taste very good and some of the kernels on the sweet corn will be indian corn color, I no, it happened to me last year.

How? Wouldn't it just be a problem if you saved the seeds? That is really strange.

I mean your sweet corn will taste like Indian corn, well, it does'nt matter if you don't care, don't know what you mean?
