Three Sisters in August


Flowering Sweetcorn in the 'Three Sisters' bed.


'Crusader' runner bean from the Thompson and Morgan 'Heritage Collection' growing up  and supported by sweetcorn.


'Uchiki Kuri' Winter Squash shaded by sweetcorn.


'Crusader' runner beans among the sweetcorn plants.

There are dwarf runner bean plants growing beneath the sweetcorn plants too. I had intended just to grow these but when I saw the 'Heritage Collection' runner bean seeds I decided to pop a 'Crusader' seed into the ground beside each sweetcorn plant and see what happened.
