How the bed is laid out

A double black raised bed. Pumpkin sprawls along the edges, zucchini sits in the middle, corn stands in the innermost row.

Corn gives height, zucchini and pumpkin cover the ground and keep the weeds down. A classic three-sisters variation without the beans.

A friendly reminder: every garden plays by its own rules. Zones, soil, weather and a hundred small things decide what works — so this is how I did it and what worked for me, not a promise. Try, learn, adjust, try again.. that's half the fun anyway.
