I knew you had to plant a certain way so your food doesn't taste bad. Example... You don't want something like pea's tasting like a onion. ha ha

I just read that you can grow corn and climbing pole beans up the corn as a trellis.
Companion Planting Example:
Gardeners have planted corn with pole (climbing) beans for generations. The beans grow up the corn stalks (as if they were trellises), and the beans process nitrogen to fertilize the corn. Native American Indians practiced companion planting with their gardening by adding squash into the mix. They called these three vegetable plants, growing together, the “Three Sisters.”
Let me know if you have done this or know of someone who has tried this........
Its cold here! I want spring back!!! brrrrr
