Squash. The vines are thorny and help deter animals munching your corn

So did I miss the squashposting this fall or did you guys leave the best for the end?

My first thought when I saw this was damn this is freaky and they haven’t even brought in the third sister yet…

I’m loving the educational shitposts these last few days. Been learning some interesting stuff.

Imagine how long humanity suffered before figuring out that crops have to take turns. Like imagine millennia ago realizing that your crops aint growing because the dirt doesn’t have enough nutrients. And then having to explain to everyone that the crops should take turns it sounds crazy.

I get what you’re saying, but this isn’t an example of that. The three sisters provided benefits to each other while growing simultaneously.

I don’t think it’s been proven that the nitrogen the beans/bacteria fix is available to the corn (before the bean plants die and decompose). Though, I have done this (along with squash), and it does seem to work pretty well. I think it gives you more vegetables per sq ft, than if you were to grow them all separately.

I’m a simple man. I see corn, I upvote corn.

This is by far the highest quality beans and corn post I have seen yet. Should be in science memes, not shitpost.
