The reason that the three sisters technique doesn't work in the

work, and I do it.
Which cucurbits do you grow - and do you have the beans growing up vertical
supports or do they come to an A apex?
C. pepo (typically Little Gem or similar, and sometimes Tronchetta
d'Albenga) and C. maxima (seeds I got from my brother in New
Zealand). And I have a 4mx4mx2m frame, made out of a bean frame
and an old swing that I tie strings up to and across.
