Corn does grow in Texas. Corn was a staple of even Native Americans in the Southwest where it is far hotter. You can drive by cornfields here. I see more maize fields locally, but corn is also grown. I have grown it successfully here in Texas...just not where I am right now. When I did try using organic methods it was a failure because the government came along and picked it all up. Rolled it up like hay and carried it off because burning it put the population at risk.....and it was dangerous to sell it for feed as some farmers may have tried to do to recover costs.
I had never heard of the Three Sisters until I started on the gardening groups. We were taught about it in school when I lived in the Chicago area, but it wasn't called the Three Sisters.
