Türchen -17 des #39c3-Kalenders: Milpa
Du hast ein plattes Beet und möchtest Stangenbohnen anbauen. Sie brauchen Kletterhilfen, dafür säst du vorher Mais. Damit der Boden nicht austrocknet, lässt du Kürbis drüber ranken.
Die "3 Schwestern" Bohne, Mais und Kürbis nutzen den Raum hervorragend aus. Diese Form der Mischkultur stammt aus Südamerika und ist als #Milpa bekannt.

I had the pleasure of being part of a project that was begun from seed in Springtime and became the towering structure of plants and vegetables it was dreamed to become now in the harvest of Autumn🍂. The Vegetable Parliament conducted its final and grand banquet last Saturday October 18th, 🌽🍎🍠🫛🫘🍈 involving all those that took part in construction and cultivation, commemoration and community over the past several months. I was specifically involved in a performance where we became the plants of the Milpa and praised our oneness with our natural friends. 🌿🌾🪲🦋 Anyone could take part, just like the banquet, and the Parliament, allowing interconnectivity amongst species and each other in our collective decision making.

At the banquet I chose to become a pumpkin, sturdy and strong, full of flavour and wisdom 🎃, the foundation of the three sisters method & indigenous story the Milpa is grown by. 🎃🫛🌽 We washed our hands in soil, (which I learnt is sanitizing) and further cleansed our hands in lavender 🪻 scented oil and water...Before becoming our vegetable archetype, and eating the fruits of the Milpas Harvest on The Vegetable Parliament. All Prepared by the Earth Caregivers who brought the Milpa concept from Mexico to Berlin , collaborating with a Berlin based food artist. ( Turns out we crossed paths frequently but never formally met). We collectively enjoyed the combination offerings, from homemade jams & dips, to homegrown fruits, harvested seeds, cakes and breads 🍰 🍞🥖 brought by the community to give thanks. And closed the night with poems, laughter, wine, and stick bread 🍷 by fire side. I met new cozy comrades and reminisced with familiar faces.
