Our Three Sisters garden one week after planting the seeds.
I perused the web and found a set up that I thought would work for the piece of land I had to plant.

Our Three Sisters garden just planted.
Then I poked some holes for the seeds and got to work adding innoculant into the holes where the beans and peas would be planted. Since this was a grand experiment in Three Sisters style gardening anyway, I decided to play fast and loose and plant things that I knew my family would eat, whether it was typical Three Sisters fare or not.
