Look what is poking through the straw. Potatoes!
We put some down on a bed of straw and covered, enclosed by a piece of fencing
When they get a little bigger, we will add another layer of straw and cover.
We will keep adding layers until we get to the top then let the vines take off over the fence.
We had a naked spot in the front yard. Thought we would give the no-dig potato planting a try

Follow @penny's and my #3Sisters #garden at @3SistersEnglishGarden account.
We toot post our progress.
We are trying different methods of gardening so I can physically help despite my #ParkinsonsPlus #mobility, #AutonomicDysfunction and other issues that have hindered my gardening in the most recent years.

The corn is growing and the beans are in.
In little over a week, we will plant the #pumpkins, #squash, #melons, #cucumbers, #watermelon & #zucchini
The #SweetPotato are taking off in their bags.

The mounds are done and the corn is planted.
We have taken the side yard and made it essentially a #NoMow zone.
The clover we planted last year is full and rich and hopefully will continue to take over what is left of the "lawn". It will serve as the border to the garden. Going to over seed the clover again.
When the corn gets around 5 to 6 inches high, the beans goes in!
The rows, marked by yellow, will be raised, boxed beds for veggies. #gardening

Learn more about The Three Sisters of Indigenous American Agriculture
https://www.nal.usda.gov/collections/stories/three-sistersWe're using #3Sisters technique for the bulk of our vegetables that @penny eats but the remaining yard will be in the #EnglishGarden style, which has nothing to do with #Indigenous North American #Agriculture, as we try to reduce our lawn.

Watch this space!Today is Friday, May 19th.
Saturday, May 20, the mounds will be made and corn will be planted. #Marigolds and #Sunflowers will be planted also.Next we wait for #beans and #pumpkins, #squash, #melons & #zucchini planting time.
While we wait for the corn, raised beds around the edge will be made for traditional garden plants like #tomatoes, #peppers, #lettuce, etc.

The Pilgrims were illegal immigrants, but the Americans still used them as farm workers to pick corn.

@DarinSimmons @3SistersEnglishGarden
Depends on how many #3sisters setups we do. Will probably do both but we want to get some melons and pumpkins in.

Going to be doing a garden project this year with my wife.
First time in a few years for me to garden due to my #Parkinsons.
We are going to do 3 sisters' plantings in our side yard to help control the mowing and maintenance while growing corn, beans and pumpkins, squash and melons.
You can follow along here as we document the soon started project: @3SistersEnglishGarden or hashtag #3Sisters
Some info is already toot posted about the setup.
Help and tips welcomed.

Doing ( @paul ) more research to reduce the amount mowing of the yard and lawn as we introduce more nature to it
We have wild flower seed for certain areas that will replace the lawn that won't need mowed and come back every year and now looking at adding large sections of dandelions
Follow our progress here. Photos coming soon as we start

Anyone have any success in 3-sisters garden planting? We want to reduce our lawn. We thought this would be a great replacement for certain areas of the lawn.
Corn stalks provide support for climbing beans. Squash's prickly leaves protect the crops from raccoons and shade the round, preventing weeds. Beans return nitrogen to the soil.
