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.
Awesome color on these. Beautiful addition to the (majority pink shades) zinnias I usually grow.
I have way more celery than I have room to plant!
Planted my basil as soon as thepackets arrived!
Last year I decided to plant a "tunnel" of sunflowers on the other side of my tall blueberry bushes and these added a colorful variety to the typical yellow! These are now a favorite that will be a "grow again!"
I received a packet of this mix with a previous greenstalk order through MIgardener (best price around!) and was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to grow and how delicious it was! I’ve never grown salad greens before and this was the perfect mix. Even after burning out on gardening late in the summer, I will always look forward to growing this salad green mix in the spring. Thanks for introducing me!
