Corn in the garden
Vegetables and Day Lillies
My vegetable garden resides right next to a patch of orange day lillies, in my front yard. You can see them peeking through, behind the corn.
Late last Spring, I bought a packet of seeds that contained indian corn, beans and squash. It was called The Native American Three Sisters Garden. The Idea is that these three plants complement each other and are beneficial to each other in the garden.
Do you see how the squash vine has wrapped itself around the corn stalk?
I’ll let you know how well it works.
The title of your song today ‘Long gone like a Turkey…’goes nicely with my post today! LOL
Looks like your plants are doing what they are suppose to - and
helping eachother. amazing.

That’s cool (as long as it’s not a stranglehold on that corn!) I would be fun to grow your own indian corn for decorations in the fall.

Ah, four things that go together: corn, beans, squash, and the blues.

Margaret, I was hoping to eat the corn, I hope indian corn is edible.
