No, not separated. I make sure not to buy any Supersweets or 
shrunken gene varieties. I've forgotten all the different 
classifications, but seed catalogues usually tell what not to plant 
together. Our seed usually comes from Fedco Seeds in Maine, a 
co-op with friendly service, high ecological awareness and great 
prices on large size packets. Your "gourmet sweets" might well be 
the kind not to plant with Silver Queen or Kandy Korn.
