Keeping Corns Together

Can you plant broom and sweet corn close together or will they cross-pollinate?

You're welcome Ness...what are your intentions with the broom corn?
I moved to Minnesota from Missouri, down home, at least in 96 when I moved, there was an older fellow who made the nicest brooms you ever seen

Yeah I saw Martha do a clip on a broom maker a few months ago :oops: since then I've wanted to find some broom corn to try it!!
