another corn question :)

[akyramoto]

here's a little info about the companion planting of corn, squash & beans

it's called the 'three sisters'

The Three Sisters: Age-old Companions

One of the oldest and best-known examples of companion planting is the Three Sisters garden, planted by many Native American cultures. The sisters corn, beans, and squash are planted together in such a way that they aid each others' success in different ways. Tall corn stalks provide support for pole beans to climb. Beans, through their symbiotic association with a type of root bacteria, fix nitrogen from the air into a form that plants (especially nitrogen-hungry corn) can use. And large, ground-hugging, prickly squash leaves shade out weeds and may deter critters.

Ok...so here's a question.

What is the shortest bearing corn, beans and squash that I could plant? anyone know right off the top of their heads?

We're moving likely around mid October, so I'd have to do this quick, but it's so interesting I wanna try it before we move.

I think 60 to 65 days for corn, beans and squash. Im goin for it!
