About this Garden Plan

So far I started my '3 sister's' garden; corn on cob, squash, and pole beans (the squash and beans won't be planted until the corn has grown approx. 4-5"). In between every other corn (approx. 1 1/2') I planted sunflowers to attract hummingbirds to eat any aphids that may try to attack my corn (like last year). Can't wait to see how it turns out :)
