    3 Sisters companion planting

    Anyone with experience with this, planting corn, pole beans, and squash together? Yakima, WA is in USDA zone 7.
    Am interested in varieties, seed sources, and general tips. I suspect that ComfortablyNumb may have something to.offer.
    I would like to plant sweet rather than dent corn, but need strong stalks. Figure I can sneak in to harvest corn without too much damage to beans and squash. Beans would be harvested dry.
    Thanks,
    Phil

    Don't plant the corn in a long single row. Multiple rows of shorter length works better.

    Never planted in conjunction with them other guys.

      yakima - yes - fresh corn in FL is usually a mix of yellow and white, large sweet kernels. I pick the heaviest, largest circumference with good silk. Almost never gets bad one. 👍👍

      You can pollinate your corn with paper bags.

      Tried a few times here. The trash pandas don't let us get any corn.
      Yellow sweet corn
      Jade Bush beans, unconventional I know
      Delicata squash.
      1 full wheelbarrow of good garden soil, lots of compost. 5 corn around the outside, alternating with beans, squash in middle.
      Good harvest of beans and squash from 3 mounds.
      Looking for pics, but that was a couple of yard renovations ago.

      I see wher Mexico has banned all USA corn due to it all being GMO.
