Certainly far different that what I have envisoned what a 3 sisters p lot would look like. My corn rows are closer, and as I was planting, wondered about pollination as the rows are MUCH wider than the package instructions. SInce you have planted like this before Im guessing the corn gets pollinated ok, or do you lend a hand??

Quote: I had noticed that you have had many years of success with this layout, just wasnt sure why. Bet those winds are the answer. Looks like I might just need to brush up on corn pollination!!
I am amazed at how tall the left rows of corn are! When did you plant? I cannot plant before late May early June where I live Did you stay with your tried and trues this year? Looks absolutely great!

This is my Blue Hopi a couple weeks ago. I didn't have time to use the black plastic to preheat the soil this year to 70* but we've had an unusually warm spring so it worked out. The ground was 68 degrees F when I planted. I was going to plant scarlet runner beans and some heirloom melons in with it in next week or two. We don't have much wind next to this big blue spruce, so I do plant real close, and since I plan to harvest all at once I'm not worried about not being able to get between the rows. I'll probably only plant around the N,S,W edges as the corn will shade everything soon. Don't think raccoons like spruce either
Edited to add I thinned corn to 2-3 stalks from the multiples that came up. It came up much better than I expected.
