It's hard to go wrong with 3 sisters. I learned in the mountains of New Mexico from old women that barely spoke spanish and spoke NO english. Their families had been there before there was a United States.

The squash they used isn't crookneck or zucchini, but those work. I'll also be using muskmelons this year, as they do a better ground cover thing.

The old women used pine needles for mulch, so they didn't have much in the way of weeds coming up anyway.

I did come away with some of their pinto beans to use for seed. I've kept those going and will use those again this year.
