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?


Walnuts have juglone in the leaves, roots and bark which stunts the
growth of a number of species.

Look here for juglone tolerant plants and trees.


I'll try this again...

Thanks, glad to know sugar maples, pawpaws(really want some), zinnias,
calendula, johnny jump ups, echinacea, lamb's ear(which grows wild here),
allium(which is onion/garlic if memory serves), etc...gives me ideas on how
to plant around them :-)
