Seeds Are Everywhere + Three Sisters Gardening

We’re taking a deep dive into seeds! Let’s explore our relationship with seeds and how seeds can be found everywhere!

Growing Corn

3 Sisters Garden

Seed in a Box

We also talk about how to grow a Three Sisters Garden, sharing our experience after reading Buffalo Bird Woman’s Garden. You can watch our full Three Sisters Youtube video here. This is one of our most popular videos!

Bevin shares advice for growing healthy and productive corn – from sunlight and soil requirements to proper watering and planting depths plus the perfect time to harvest your corn – whether you’re growing sweet corn, popcorn, flour or flint varieties. He also covers pollination and how to avoid cross pollination issues.

At the top of the show, we share some personal updates including news from our recent trip to Spain. We found some of our favorite herbs growing wild on the Iberian Peninsula and Heather wrote a fun blog about the experience for our Patreon community.
