Converting a new developer lot into a nature ecosystem — my journey

Three Sisters Garden Corn Is Growing!

On March 17, 2024, I planted four corn seeds in each of five prepared mounds, and have been keeping them watered if no rain. This is the first planting of a Three Sisters garden (a cooperative combination of corn, beans, and squash).

By March 26, 2024, I could see 20 tiny corn spikes, which is exactly the number of seeds I planted! I know it’s very early to know if the overall Three Sisters project will be successful, but given my lack of prowess with vegetable gardening, this is already a high achievement for me.
