Planting Corn, Squash and Beans Using The Three Sisters Method

Definitely didn't butcher all of the native names 👀

And what about tobacco sister? Sounds weird but tobacco repells bugs, and with bugs, it repells birds too. No bugs, no birds, no damage on the corn.

Any tips for squash bugs without pesticides?

Nice

Good tips for formations and timings of planting the sisters. Excellent video, thank you!

For millenia*

The best way to plant things is together cause that’s they at they were in nature

I did this one time only. The night before I was going to pick my corn the bandit raccoons raided my beautiful patch and broke down every single cornstalk, ruining my beans and squash, peeled every ear of corn and took one bite of it and then moved on. The little pirates hit every garden in the neighborhood that year. I haven't planted corn since...

By centuries I think she meant millennia

Lovely way to whitewash the notion...

I'm your sister

I'm your son sister 😂😂

Best explanation EVER! Thank you ❤️

Can the squash sister component be watermelons?

Its crazy how most people in america think of past natives as savages when they literally had to baby the white folk and teach them how to survive in America. They were a lot smarter than you give them credit for and actually knew how to live with the land through hard work.

Could I theoretically replace the beans with peas? I dont care for beans but would like to try this method.

Doesn't seem like you could grow a lot of corn this way. I'm also surprised they get pollinated enough. I always hear that you need a lot of corn in order for it to pollinate.

I never thought I would be learning from the Bloods on how to grow crops.

So you can't plant pento beans ?

You can’t do this for fall?

I'm going to try this but my fourth sister will be a marijuana plant. I get to have my delicious beans and corn and squash while getting high.

they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage,

until the day when Noah entered the ark, 39 and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away,

so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

What can you substitute for squash? Can't stand the taste of it.

Awesome thanks

Hi from South Wales uk. I’m going to try three sisters this year they are ready to go in yeee thanks for sharing. New friend here. Pop by and say hi thanks stay safe and god bless. Ange and the feathered ones x

You can plant up to 64 stalks in a 4'x4' square too, you can pack them in pretty tight, then the tassels are directly above the silks dropping pollen too.

Greetings from Missouri! Fantastic three sisters tutorial. Will be implementing this method in our garden this year.

Great job. Thanks.

Thanks so much

Is the three sisters method of planting limited to corn beans squash? do you have any other three plant combinations to use?

Love this! But, one tip... in my experience, you can't use a "combination" of different corn plants, or they will cross pollinate, and you will end up with some strange corn cobs!

ayo shes a blood

no offence, i just found it funny

Excellent tutorial for a novice gardener like myself. Thank you for sharing!

Excellent tutorial for a novice gardener like myself. Thank you for sharing!

We do that in my country.

Is Spain good climate for that?

Love this thank you so much.

More people need to use banana, orange, lemon, pineapple, watermen's, squash, and other rinds or peels to use as organic compost along with different pollen plants around so they can get pollenated

Dear friend, genuine repentance and recitation of those words will protect you from calamities:

"F a l u n  D a f a is Good" and "Truth, Compassion, Forbearance is Good".

F a l u n  D a f a  (or F a l u n  G o n g) is a spiritual cultivation practice for mind and
body that is widely spreading in the world, it is based on the
principles of the Universe:

真 Truthfulness
善 Compassion
忍 Forbearance

It includes gentle exercises and meditation. It helped millions of people
to regain health, peace of mind and obtain spiritual fulfillment. Since
1999 this peaceful practice has been brutally persecuted by the CCP (Chinese communist party) in
Mainland China. More than 100 million people around the world practice Falun
Gong.

So helpful! Thanks for sharing!

Fascinating.

I live in southeast Texas, zone 9a. Can I do this in August?

Can I use pumpkin instead of squash? Aren’t they related?

I've got two 3 Sisters gardens , one with flint corn and the other has peaches and cream corn in it plus sunflowers, pumpkins and butternut squash plus green and yellow pole beans and adzuki beans
