Three sisters planting. Mixed planting garden!

You may have heard of a 'three sisters' garden, which is a traditional native American growing method.
The idea, for the uninitiated, is to intercrop sweetcorn, beans and squash.
The sweetcorn supports the beans, the beans fix nitrogen for the sweetcorn, and the squash mulches the ground, keeping it moist and keeping weeds down.
The mix of plants makes pests less likely to triumph.
It is oft-touted as one of those neat, perfect permaculture-type solutions and so I set out to try it.
