  • Sorry-couldn't find the answer in the comments...how far apart are the 1 ft hillings from the others?

  • start the corn first in the middle of a mound of compost and dirt... let it go a couple weeks and then finally the beans and then sqash around the outside perimeter.... if planted all at the same time.. ur beans will gang bang ur corn lol.....

  • she is gorgeous :)

  • @Illchangeitlater ya but peas arent that hot hardy they like more cool whever than hot but i found out that u can grow a long or short row of tall sunflowers and then let the sunflowers die and in the next year you can plant peas or beans around the sunflowers and they will grow good with squash around it too.

  • Can you use peas instead of beans? I mean, I know they'll grow the same way, but do peas fix nitrogen like beans do?

  • If people try this at home, it would be better the start with a staggered planting of seeds directly into the garden.  Plant corn first, wait until you see sprouts, then plant pole beans and again wait until you see sprouts, then plant the squash. Rabbit manure is great to put directly onto the garden (it's not a hot manure), but it could attract mating rabbits who love pole bean sprouts. If you use rabbit manure or have lots of wild rabbits, put up a physical barrier until the vines mature.

  • she is too slow and boring

  • You need more soil in thihs bed!

  • Good job on your video I liked it very much!
