What grows under a Black Walnut Tree

The community plot next door was going to let the plot under the walnut tree go to weeds because everyone had come to the conclusion that it wasn't good for anything else.  Everyone but me.  I was determined to do something other than letting the ragweed grow. 

It was already late in the season when I cleared the weeds and tried my experiment.  I didn't really expect to get anything out of it, but at least I wouldn't be sneezing every time I worked in my plot farther down.  Here is what I found out.

Glads do well right under the black walnut tree.

Bush beans produce poorly, but pole beans do just fine.

Morning Glories start out OK and then die.

Impatiens don't seem to have a problem. And the corn would have produced more if I hadn't started so late.

Parsley can handle it, but beats do poorly if at all.
