I have planted Hopi blue for years now, saved the seeds of the biggest and replanted the next year. Until now, I have planted in mounds in my backyard. This year I planted 60 stations of Hopi blue, butternut squash and pole beans directly into a lawn. I planted the corn deep, below the roots of the grass. I will not water, weed or apply pesticide. I think that the ability to grow the sisters this way is a great gift and I will save the seeds I harvest to be stored or distributed as “survival seeds”. I am documenting my progress and have begun posting it here. I would be very interested to hear the thoughts of others who have experience with this type of thing.
