The Three Sisters of Sustainability
Corn: Cherokee Regalia…planted first in (three-four seeds) in a mound after a fish parts are first planted to provide fertilizer
Beans: Iroquois Regalia…after the corn has sprouted to about a foot, the beans are planted at the base to allow growing up the cornstalk
Squash: Lenape Regalia…planted last to provide a good foundation for the corn and beans, holding the moisture into the ground with the wide leaves
