I was wondering, what's your latitude?

I think we are too far polewards (N for us) for Three Sisters.  Plus we have too many visiting badgers for sweetcorn or maize.

But I'm still intrigued by your polyculture with volunteers, rather than rotated monocropping.

Best of luck.

Where are you? The high latitudes get longer summer days, so with seed adapted to the latitude, it might work.

Animals are a problem. My beekeeper friends up north build some impressive fences, then electrify them.
