The Three Sisters are corn. squash and beans. They are planted together, slightly varying the time, so that the squash protect the beans and corn by covering the ground, choking out weeds and keeping in moisture. The corn will support the beans, without having to use any cage. Today, it is still a great way to grow these plants. The Mohegans have grown the Three Sisters for centuries.
