Companion planting! Ingenious Native American planting technique called Three Sisters. It involves growing three types of plants (sweetcorn, climbing or french beans and squash or pumpkins) in the same bed, and live harmoniously with each other. I’ve also grown tall sunflowers in my bed as the fourth ‘sister’, to provide more upright support for the climbing beans. #companionplanting #threesisters | Simon Akeroyd Garden Writer
