Some things make you feel like you’ve done well. Some things feel like its worth waiting for results. My three sisters garden is becoming something like that. This morning I stepped out of the house on a very tight time remaining to punch into work and I had to snap a couple of photos because I was utterly surprised to see that one of my squash plants had flowered – first flower of the three sisters garden!
The “three sisters” is a symbiotic combination of corn, squash, and beans that all work in tandem for sustainable, bountiful crop production. The Mandan Indians used it here; I learned that when I toured the mound village at Fort Lincoln, but it was an article in Popular Mechanics that made me realize I could do it in the small corner of my backyard. We have corn, zucchini and yellow squash, and sweet peas. So far it’s doing well, and I look forward to future epicness.

Do you ever eat the flowers, Rob? They are very tasty stuffed with ricotta or mozzarella and your choice of protein. (We use crab or shrimp.)
No, I had never heard of that. Do you pick them right after they bloom? I got home and the flower had already closed up.
You pick them when they’re just getting ready to open. Here’s a link to just one recipe, but if you google “fried squash blossoms”, you can find lots more.

Oh, I forgot another detail. We bread them and fry them.
That sounds good with anything, bread It fry it stuff with ricotta and meat… Yum!
