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.
This is my first year growing straw flower. The germination rate is fantastic and you get so many seeds. Can't wait till they can moved outdoors and bloom in my purple flower bed.
Everything but the royal paste sprouted. Sometimes that happens. Will place another order for fall planting.
This variety was excellent for me for cooking. I needed to pick fewer leaves and chopping was a breeze. The spinich felt more succulent and thicker than the American (smaller spoon shaped leaves). I would use it for cooking and keep the smaller leaved varieties for raw salad eating. My weather was a tricky early on and off again spring and winter pattern, so I think that triggered early bolting, but even still. It was pretty hands off and worth it.
Awesome producer and neat looking fruit! The abundant cucumber beetles seem to ignore the vines too!
Haven’t planted yet. Looking forward to adding to salads! So happy MIgarden had these. Hard to find Microgreen seeds
