growing a three sisiters garden in New England

[barefootmamax4]

I'd like to try a three sisters garden but I have been finding conflicting advice on how to plant. One says to plant corn first, then about 2 weeks after the corn is up, put a ring of pole beans around the sprouts and then a ring of squash. The other says to put the three seeds into one hole with a fish all at the same time.
Has anybody done a three sisters? How did you do it?

I did years ago and you definitely have to plant the corn first otherwise the beans overwhelm the corn comparatively quickly.

three seeds into one hole with a fish

hmmmm!

Is that what Bob Flowerdew was on about and is there any point?

Surely a fish is going to need more than three seeds to keep it fed...

it'll suffocate!! Poor fishy. Does it have to be fresh? or does boil-in-the-bag work as well?

I did that last year and grew Sweetcarp instead so beware!!

Or was it sweetcod?
