I think you're right about the lillies - I planted pine and cedar and 
hemlock and they are all doing ok - growing less rapidly than others I 
planted but then again they are hammered by wind - as for veggies, I 
know corn does fine with Black walnuts..... At any rate, black walnuts 
are such an awesome species, I feel they are unfairly maligned and I so 
often read gardening adice that paints them out to be virtual Osama Bin 
Trees !
