Creating a Three Sisters Garden

 Marigolds are getting tired of flowering, ulam raja has gone high reaching the sky with little flowers and seeds. The bed will be empty soon after each plant has completed their stay. I thought giving three sisters a chance here will be an adventure. I read about mirror image in Matron's Season of Fruitfulness, and put that concept in here too.

 I think winged beans will fit well there, and pumpkins because I have grown these before. I would rather leave the edible sweet peas aside first and plant them separately somewhere on their own.  It would not be easy to include them, since sweet peas are first timers in our plot.


Corn and pumpkins have their own platform to grow, one going vertical and the other  horizontal. Beans will be in between somehow. The way I figure, beans has to be restrained from climbing and should be forced to stay low by pruning branches and shoots that might venture out, not least not until we harvest the round of sweet corns.


Soon the bed will be  ready, and the clock will be ticking to try out what the American elders had perfected for thousand of years, a Three Sisters Garden.
