The Three Sisters planting method is an ancient agricultural technique used by Indigenous peoples of the Americas, combining corn or sunflower, beans, and squash in a symbiotic relationship. Corn provides tall stalks for the beans to climb, beans fix nitrogen in the soil to nourish all three plants, and squash spreads across the ground, acting as a natural mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. This method optimizes space, enhances soil fertility, and creates a self-sustaining system. Ideal for home gardeners and sustainable agriculture enthusiasts, the Three Sisters method exemplifies harmony in nature, offering abundant harvests while promoting biodiversity and ecological balance.

Tried to pick up the seeds I wish to plant next season at the nice price. All items ordered arrived and have been stored ina cool dark place until they are needed. Thank you guys again for the excellent experience.
Great people, great community, great service. Thank you and we can’t wait to buy more!
Great germination as usual! You can’t go wrong with MIGardener seeds.
Haven’t planted yet. Looking forward to adding to salads! So happy MIgarden had these. Hard to find Microgreen seeds
So far all 6 seeds that I planted have germinated and are growing well. I am planning on transplanting them into bigger pots soon until they’re ready for the garden.
My old reliable variety, always produces an abundance of tomatoes towards the end of the season!
Little pepper plants popped up quickly, they seem to be doing very well thus far.
Really great germination, I am currently growing them in my hydroponic system.
