I came across this article while looking for how to plant #ThreeSisters (and #Sunflowers). Very informative! I learned that I should be planting my sunflowers in the north (makes sense, so they don't overshadow the corn). The article includes Zuni and Wampanoag garden designs!

The Three Sisters: Planting Corn, Beans, and Squash Together

By Melissa Breyer
Updated October 11, 2022

"The sisters are corn, pole beans, and squash (traditionally winter squash, but summer squash can work too). According to legend, notes the Almanac, 'the plants were a gift from the gods, always to be grown together, eaten together, and celebrated together.' "

How the sunflowers are looking two weeks on from potting on. The tall one's one of the 'Copper Queens' (I've given the other two away to friends) and the smaller ones are the competition variety #sunflowers #Faversham #Kent #England #FavSF25

#KnowledgeByte: Did you know #Sunflowers are used to help clean up after #Nuclear #Disasters?

Sunflowers are hyperaccumulators, meaning they can absorb toxic heavy metals from the ground. They have been planted at both Chernobyl and Fukushima to help restore the soil.

10 million acres of sunflowers are grown annually in Europe (2 million acres in the US).
A study involving 2 species of bee shows that sunflower pollen in the diet has medicinal and protective effects on health of the #bees.

The 'Copper Queen' sunflowers have done okay since I first potted them up 25 days ago. Here's how three of them look (centre, with split canes) after I potted them on today. The smaller two are a local charity competition variety, that I sowed a week or two ago #Sunflowers #UKGardening #Gardening
