- sudojudo 9y agoI've found companion planting beneficial, but have had terrible luck with the corn aspect of 3-sisters. It seems best suited for warmer US zones (6+), where corn can go in the ground well before beans. Otherwise, the beans will quickly overtake the corn. I always have some tomato cages ready as backup, because even if the corn is big enough to support the beans, a gust of wind can blow it all over. Also, deer eat corn shoots. Damn you, deer. Damn you.
