I'd imagine not, since many native tribes used a group planting method I've  
heard described as the 'three sisters", you plant corn, squash and beans in 
the  same hill,  and the corn stalk acts as a stake for the other two. They all  
grow and intertwine and support each other.
 
I'd imagine depending on when they flower, they'd attract more bees to  
pollinate the crops too.

enough people to make it worth the effort.
