I read about the 3 sisters the other day as well, a pity that I hadn't read it earlier and I could have given it a go. Oh well there is always next year. It will be interesting to see how is works for you.

I haven't done it before, Yvonne, but I have them in the garden like it now...and they seem fine. I had a good look at the history of the 3 sisters method, and if it's worked for centuries, I suppose it must be ok ...giving it a go this year

Beans growing up corn, sorry for the silly question but doesn't the beans constrict the corn? Very interesting for space saving.

thinning carrots and parsnips, some had bolted which made it easy to see what ones needed to come out, but sometimes I wonder if I am really selecting for luxuriant leaves instead of roots when I pull out the smaller ones?
tucked in more beans to grow up the corn and some lettuces before yet more rain on the way. the first pumpkin flowers wont get pollinated probably, because the pollen got wet. First zucchini , yay!

planted stevia, cummin, lemongrass and more rose geranium. Pulled the old broad beans. Heaven watered the garden today, so I am off the hook tonight

Good news Hester, planted out more beetroot today! More mulching today too.
Lovely to get lots of rain over night and this morning. Although I'm keeping up my
neem oil spraying, the green looper caterpillars are tucking into my tomato plants in the glass house... grrrr.

yes Hester root vegies are the go, maybe we can keep these in the ground and be netted before the wildlife cotton on!!
