        I successfully plant squash around the edge of the bed to trail through a block of sweetcorn in the middle
        - so for me 2 sisters work but 3 doesn't

          its a native american way of planting, but it maybe works better over in the states

            They use different varieties to us. Their "sweetcorn" is maize, and both that and the beans are ripened on the plants instead of being picked fresh as we tend to do.

              We also do the two sisters and it is usually fine. This year the corn was pants.

                YEP - I also (successfully) did the two sisters! Corn above and squash to keep the weeds down! Worked fairly well - just need more sun next year!

                  I did two sisters this year - corn was fab but cucumbers didn't really amount to much. I blame the weather rather than the system though!
