Growing "three sisters" requires a lot of experimentation. You need the right corn, right pole beans and the proper squash. For example, bantam corn, with bush beans and tiny squash isn't going to do well. Don't expect your favorite varieties to produce much.
Also, Native Americans didn't plow fields, they planted three sisters in various clearing.
