Three Sisters Planted

Bed 15 with corn, squash and beans

At last, everything is in the ground. The last holdouts had been the Three Sisters that require the corn to be established ( 4 inches or so) before the squash and beans are planted around them. Each bed took two packages of beans (about 50 beans) and two packages of squash (about 50 or more). If we had too many seeds, we just went back in the same row; too few, we just spread them out more. Since each bed is 4 x 22, there is "around" "roughly" "about" one squash/bean per square foot (i.e one squash/bean seed per corn seed). We'll see later if we are undercrowded or overcrowded.
