What are some juglone-friendly plants?
We have a LOT of black walnut trees on our acreage. We would like to have another large garden this year and for it to fair well! What types of vegetables are tolerant to juglone released from the black walnuts? Thanks!

I'm afraid the list of juglone-tolerant vegetables is not long, but Penn State Extension has put together one here, which lists other types of tolerant plants as well: http://extension.psu.edu/plants/gardening/fact-sheets/trees-shrubs/landscaping-and-gardening-around-walnuts-and-other-juglone-producing-plants

You may want to think about starting some raised beds if you want to broaden your selection. It might be worth your while to set something up that doesn't get walnut leaves or nuts falling on it, as well as roots. And be very careful about what mulch you use, too!
