Today we started our first in a series of three sisters gardens. We did corn, pole beans and cucumbers. If you have never heard of a three sisters garden, it's time you have. It's companion planting that according to Iroquois legend, corn, beans, and squash are three inseparable sisters who will only grow and thrive together. This tradition of interplanting corn, beans and squash in the same mounds. Widespread among Native American farming societies, is a sophisticated, sustainable system that provided long-term soil fertility and a healthy diet to generations.
