I really appreciate the practical applications people have come up with for this ancient system. If you want to see diagrams of how some native Americans planted the 3 sisters--corn, beans, squash--you can find them in the ATTRA publication Companion Planting. I think the pub has references to the books, such as Buffalo Bird Woman's Garden, where the diagrams were found. Sunflowers were also planted in these gardens.

Regards to the list:

When you plant pumpkins and squash in the corn, do you put it in the row
with the corn or between the rows? What is the spacing for the
squashes? Where can I find more about this?
