the three sister's giuild and their immediate neighbor

the three sisters' bed is coming along..there are several well defined ears of maize in there and all the plants have flowered...in yet another first beans are appearing on the vines in the maize plants...so two thirds of the intended denizens have made an their presence known...the squash plants are blooming but no squash yet...that will ( hopefully ) be a post in the near future...meanwhile back at the bean/cucumber wall cohabitation is going on as more nascent beans have appeared and there are some reasonably large cukes hiding out near the bottom of the wall...always sneaky devils, they pop up unexpectedly and, seemingly, overnight..there will be bells and whistles when we see squash..stay tuned for more reports.
