Your garden looks really great!

Beautiful.

Awesome for your first garden!

Very productive! You do have a lot of space. I wish I could grow melons like that!

Beautiful setup, and great use of mulch! Thank you for sharing.

Looks good! Keep the pics coming!

Thank you everyone. It amazes me how excited you can get over a few plants LOL.

Your garden definitely is beautiful! You are in zone 9, so you are definitely ahead of us (zone 7) as far as fruiting of all those plants. You definitely has lots of space, but I am not sure whether I would said it is very productive (eg pumpkin, cantolope, winter squash, beans, etc). Your corn seems doing well, but beans and squash climbing over them, doesn't seem as productive as growing them on separate trolley, I am just curious. They certainly looks beautiful and gracious growing together though.

Great looking garden. I like your pumpkin and Butternut squash. :)

Thank you stuffradio!

The reason I planted the corn, beans and pumpkin together is that I had read an article about what is called "The Three Sisters". Corn provides the pole for the beans, beans fix nitrogen in the soil for the heavy nitro feeder "Corn" and pumpkins (any crawling squash I suppose) provides the ground with shade to conserve water and prevent weeds. It has worked very well so far. Corn has been delicious the beans are starting to produce (beans are insanely productive)and the pumpkins are growing like weeds with several nice size pumpkins already. The only downside that I have experienced is picking the corn. I have to be careful when I snap the corn off the stalk not to break it because the beans are are attached to it.

I am growing other vegetables than what I have shown here, was just showing a few things.

Thanks so much for sharing your pictures and experiences. I heard of "The Three Sisters" before but never try it. I will try it next year. I don't have the kind of space you have, but the drought we have this year in our region (mid-Atlantic), makes me think that this method may alliviate the dryness and heat somehow.

Very nice looking garden! I think this is the first real photo example of a 3 Sisters planting I've seen. I guess I'm doing "2 Sisters" this year with corn and pumpkin, but planting my beans elsewhere. It does seem like harvest would be a problem, and I wanted to plant my corn close together since I'm in raised beds. I'm jealous of the brick edging on your raised bed!

I haven't tried 3 sister cause my squash/pumpkin plant get so huge it would be very painful (all those stickey squash plants) to step in and pick the beans and corn.
Most of my squash plants get to be 4-6' wide! Nancy

Wonderful, like the three Sisters.
What is the tree?

The tree with the bricks around it is a Bacon Avocado. I just planted this year. I also have a Mexican Stewart Avocado next to it. Your peppers are nice. What type are they. I planted some Anaheim and something called Big John this year. They are just starting to set.
