I can only plant my vegetable garden near a black walnut tree. Something in the tree make-up prevents certain plants from growing. Which ones do better than others. Thank you
There is sun but the drip line of the tree is close to the garden.
What garden vegetables do well under a black walnut tree?

I had the same problem that you did. To get around it, I looked in to "Square foot gardening". I built raised beds, with new their own soil / compost mixture, separate from the soil that the walnut trees grew in, and ended up with a fabulous garden.
Everyone told me it wouldn’t work, being so close to the Walnut trees (about 40 ft) and it probably wouldn’t have, if I hadn’t built raised beds for the veggie garden.
You can get the book "Square Foot Gardening" by Mel Bartholomew at any library or bookstore, that will tell you a lot more about it.
Hope this helps, it worked for me! Good Luck!!
