What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Discover the proven wisdom of companion planting with the Three Sisters Seed Collection from Survival Garden Seeds. This traditional method pairs three complementary crops—corn, pole beans, and squash—that support one another throughout the growing season. Corn provides natural trellising for climbing beans, the beans help enrich the soil, and the squash spreads broad leaves that shade the ground to conserve moisture. For centuries, this system has offered a reliable, sustainable way to grow abundant food with minimal inputs.

The Three Sisters not only thrive when grown together, they also create a well-rounded, nutrient-dense harvest for your kitchen. Corn, beans, and squash together supply carbohydrates, protein, vitamins, and minerals, making them ideal for fresh eating, preserving, and long-term storage.

What’s Included in the Three Sisters Seed Collection:

  • Kentucky Wonder Pole Bean: A dependable heirloom known for heavy clusters of flavorful green beans. Pods are stringless when picked young and can reach 9–10 inches at full maturity. Excellent for fresh eating, canning, freezing, or drying as a shelling bean.
  • Butternut Squash: A classic winter squash with tan skin and rich, orange flesh. A versatile ingredient used in soups, roasting, baking, and countless hearty recipes. Stores well for extended use through winter.
  • Bantam Heirloom Sweet Corn: An open-pollinated favorite that produces two or more golden ears per stalk. Features tender kernels with an old-fashioned sweet flavor, perfect for fresh eating or preserving.

Why Customers Love the Three Sisters Seed Collection:

  • Showcases a time-tested companion planting method
  • Helps maximize space, improve soil health, and reduce watering needs
  • Produces a balanced, nutritious mix of protein- and carbohydrate-rich crops
  • Suitable for home gardens, homesteads, and long-term food planning
  • Includes clear planting and seed-saving instructions for beginners

How to Grow:
Plant the Three Sisters together once the soil has warmed. Start by sowing the corn in small clusters or mounds. When corn seedlings are several inches tall, plant pole beans around the base so they can climb the growing stalks. Add squash seeds around the mound’s perimeter, allowing vines to spread and shade the soil. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil, provide consistent moisture early on, and allow each plant ample space to fulfill its role in the companion system.

Take Advantage of Companion Planting

Native Americans have grown corn and beans together for centuries. They called the combination of corn, beans, and squash, the Three Sisters.

The corn stalks provide a natural trellis for the beans and the beans provide much-needed nitrogen for the corn. The squash provides ground cover to help keep moisture in the soil.
