We toot post our progress.

We are trying different methods of gardening so I can physically help despite my #ParkinsonsPlus #mobility, #AutonomicDysfunction and other issues that have hindered my gardening in the most recent years.

The corn is growing and the beans are in.

In little over a week, we will plant the #pumpkins, #squash, #melons, cucumbers, watermelon & #zucchini

The #SweetPotato are taking off in their bag.

The mounds are done and the corn is planted.

We have taken the side yard and made it essentially a #NoMow zone.

The clover we planted last year is full and rich and hopefully will continue to take over what is left of the "lawn". It will serve as the border to the garden. Going to over seed the clover again.

When the corn gets around 5 to 6 inches high, the beans goes in!

The rows, marked by yellow, will be raised, boxed beds for veggies. #gardening

We're using #3Sisters technique for the bulk of our vegetables that @penny eats but the remaining yard will be in the #EnglishGarden style, which has nothing to do with #Indigenous North American #Agriculture, as we try to reduce our lawn.

Are you ready for some #gardening

A week late on planting the corn but we have until June 1st.

Watch this space!

Today is Friday, May 19th.
Saturday, May 20, the mounds will be made and corn will be planted. #Marigolds and #Sunflowers will be planted also.

Next we wait for #beans and #pumpkins, #squash, #melons & #zucchini planting time.

While we wait for the corn, raised beds around the edge will be made for traditional garden plants like #tomatoes, #peppers, #lettuce, etc.

@DarinSimmons @3SistersEnglishGarden

Depends on how many #3sisters setups we do. Will probably do both but we want to get some melons and pumpkins in.

Going to be doing a garden project this year with my wife.

First time in a few years garden due to my #Parkinsons.

We are going to do 3 sisters' plantings in our side yard to help control the mowing and maintenance while growing corn, beans and pumpkins, squash and melons.

You can follow along here as we document the soon started project: @3SistersEnglishGarden or hashtag #3Sisters

Some info is already toot posted about the setup.

Help and tips welcomed.

OLGA: (looking at her watch) It's time for bed. (She gets up from the table)

MASHA: (sighing) What a boring life we lead here.

OLGA: I'm in mourning for my life.

MASHA: I know what you mean. It's so dull here.

OLGA: (sighing) Yes, I often feel like I'm just marking time.

MASHA: (nodding) And every day is just like the one before it.

OLGA: (sadly) We never have any adventures or excitement.

MASHA: (nodding) And we never will as long as we stay here.

@paul Nice!

I would add some Allium families (like leeks and garlics) to it.

They cover bared soil in winter and hibernate under other plants in summer, plus ward off some pests.👌
