Plant your vegetable mound
Plant a Native American Vegetable Garden for the festival of The May Moon.
Untitled Document
The Native Americans practiced a technique known as interplanting.
Corn which requires a lot of fertilizer was planted on the top, once it grew to about two feet high, the beans which fix fertilizer into the soil planted at the base of the corn to add nitrogen and climb up on the cornstalks. After the beans began to grow, the squash was planted at the bottom so that they would not push the other two Sisters over.

Post a message on the thread below and a mound of the three sisters
will be added to the graphic. The first mound has already been planted
for Kallistos/SkyEyes.
 Winter
will be coming and we will need a lot of mounds to see us through
until the next harvest. Be sure to add yours. Only one mound per person though.
