Seems to be a hard one to find, although a Canadian source they might be one who will send to the states.

Thanks! I should also mention, due to business contacts in Canada, it would be rather easy for me to get Canadian seed, even if the vendor doesn't ship the states.

Your welcome, another Canadian source for this hard to find bean is Hawthorn Farm unfortunately they don't ship to the US.

Painted Mountain is not acceptable as a support for bean vines. The plants are short and relatively weak stemmed. My suggestion is to get a sturdier corn such as Mesquakie Indian or Cherokee Squaw.

True Red Cranberry does not work well in a 3 sisters garden. Cornfield Pole is pretty much a standard. There are also several folks who post here who have good varieties for 3 sisters plantings.

You show zone 6 which probably means you are somewhere about KY or similar. There are many possibilities for both corn and beans that will grow for you.

For a squash, you need a moderately vigorous vining variety. Long Pie has worked well for me in the past. Do you know why the Indians planted squash with the corn and beans? There were two very good reasons.

You might look into the proper spacing for a good 3 sisters garden. Most of the time, they are planted too close.

I just placed an order with Heritage Harvest, also in Canada. They have great customer service.
