My Three Sisters Garden (corn, beans and squash) has been a challenge this year in our cool, damp Pacific Northwest climate. The corn is being eclipsed by the beans, which need less sunshine to grow than the corn. The squash is struggling with multiple onslaughts of slugs, but the beer-traps seem to be working, and I think the 3-inch high squash will make it.
However, the beans will climb up the trellises and produce a good crop. You can see how well they are doing in this picture.
Next year, I will plant the corn about four weeks before the beans and squash, for much better results!
