For those of us currently in winter-- what new varieties are you growing this coming year?
What new things have you added to your garden for the upcoming season?
What new techniques are you trying this year?
We’re in the dead of winter and I am itching to get back out into the garden… tell me what you’re up to!
Growing “three sisters” requires a lot of experimentation. You need the right corn, right pole beans and the proper squash. For example, bantam corn, with bush beans and tiny squash isn’t going to do well. Don’t expect your favorite varieties to produce much. Also, Native Americans didn’t plow fields, they planted three sisters in various clearing.
