Corn, Pole Beans, Zuchinni, Buttercup Squash, Pumpkin
OK I went a little nuts when planning out the first grouping but I had no idea what I was doing. For now I'm gonna see where it goes but I might end up re arranging it a bit and making it smaller.
The Three Sisters - This is a Native American grouping of Corn, Pole Beans & Squash. Which work well with Marigolds and Nasturtiums (which I haven't been able to find yet)

I have no idea if this is going to work.
I used string and Bamboo poles to guide me in planting the seeds in strait rows.
After I planted everything I read that corn needs 3 rows to pollinate properly and I only have 2.
The spacing is also smaller than recommended but hey I did what I had to do to get it in the ground. It's all about experimenting and who knows it might turn out!
It wouldn't be the first time I've amazed myself doing something I have no idea how to do.

I added Nasturtiums to this bed. Finally I found some.
This is one of the first sprouts to come up from the seeds I've planted.
It's either Corn or Pole Beans.
I'm hoping for the first of the two cause well the corn should reach 4 inches before the beans start to grow so they have a starting point to latch onto.

All the seeds have sprouted and are growing taller every day.
