It's windy and mostly sunny here, supposed to get in the 50s, was in the 40s
when I woke up 4 hours ago, and I just moved some logs that were next to the
herb bed, to make more room for more herbs or whatever I want to plant
there. So if you need a log, I got plenty! I'm also eager for my 2 dwarf
blueberries, ginger root, and 2 black walnut trees that have been shipped to
me finally to get here...have no idea where to plant the black walnuts
though, because a book on companion planting I have(Carrots Love Tomatoes,
by Louise Riotte) says there's a substance on their leaves called juglone
that washes off them when it rains and prohibit growth of other greenage
near them....anyone had any experience with that?

I'd would forget to have anything grow under the drip line. Similar
to the way mother maples discourage kids from being too near. You are
talking a long term time investment but growing stuff for the next
generation is nobel. The largest we had was about 30 years old that my
dad grew from seed. It was maybe 10 feet in diameter drip line when my
brother took it down. The wood is valued highly and some folks use the
fruit for dying cloth. I like black walnut brittle. Heard some folks
run their cars over the seeds to crack them.
