I have been pawing around a Seed Savers catalog for awhile and think I am just about decided on what I want to grow. We are going to do companion planting this year as well, not three sisters, but planting things like carrots and tomatoes next to each other. We had a problem with squash bugs and other pests last year at the community garden since most people tend to grow the same things. We won't be growing zucchini or summer squash this year as we get tons in the CSA and they really attracted the bugs. We are trying to grow a large variety so as to reduce our chance of infestation and to see what works best in our soil. I can't wait until I have my own yard, can't plant garlic or anything that has to overwinter in the community garden.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01760009169211682230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-2000579134140471652008-12-28T07:48:00.000-05:002008-12-28T07:48:00.000-05:00Tam: Everyone seems to do their three sister's plo...Tam: Everyone seems to do their three sister's plot a little different. My hills will be 4' apart. For each hill of corn there will be (ideally, reality will intervene I'm sure) four corn plants about 9" apart. After the corn is up, I'll hill the corn up and plant beans around the outside of the corn, 6" away from the corn. I'm shooting for about 6 plants per hill. After the beans are up you plant your squash. Some do it around the outside of the beans, but I'm going to do separate hills for the squash (2 plants per hill) between and a little in front of my corn hills. I don't have an open garden. I have wide 4' permanent rows running east-west. So my squash hills will be to the south so they won't be shaded at the start and the corn hills will be to the north. I hope that is comprehensible without a diagram.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-71770591982702873482008-12-27T22:04:00.000-05:002008-12-27T22:04:00.000-05:00I love this idea, but I'm having trouble imagining...I love this idea, but I'm having trouble imagining how it will look. <BR/><BR/>Are you putting the 4 corn in a square and then planting 3-4 hills of beans and squash around each corn plant?Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06111603742877378974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-44566063326358084482008-12-27T07:49:00.000-05:002008-12-27T07:49:00.000-05:00That would be a nice gift.

I think I get almost as much enjoyment from the planning as I do from the planting! I'm aiming for succession plantings and continuous production from my small garden this next growing season, and will be trying to start my own transplants for the cole crops. I wish I had room for a three sisters plot, but I'm afraid my pole beans will just be the "hide the dog kennel" variety, Kentucky Blue, sans the corn and squash!Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.com
