Under two red pines, in the front of the house, unwanted seedlings appear of 
winged euonymous, prunus serotina, and especially maples.

It's a pain pulling the little seedlings.  Even more frustrating is nothing 
useful is growing in space that's obviously fertile and sunny enough to 
encourage the growth of these seedlings, rather rapid growth I might add.  I 
tried 
Sparkle variety strawberries and they survive but do not thrive.

So I'm looking for suggestions what might be tried there to get some use out 
of the space.  Gobo Burdock? Soloman's Seal?  American ginseng?  I tried 
onions with no result too.  Eleagnus Umbellata [Autumn Olive]?  Some herb?  
Witch-hazel?  Garlic?  Beach Plum  [Prunus maritima}?   Raspberries?  
Somebody come 
up with something, please!
