I had a garden in town, it grew great for several years, then a walnut seedling got started just over the property line. The first year it hurt my garden , knee high plants turned brown all at same time. I thought it was herbicide that "blew in." Next year, repeat exactly. Early spring ok, then boom all nightshades(tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, eggplants) dead in 2 or 3 days. Killed a pussy willow, some vines, etc looked all the world like some unknown enemy was spraying my plants. It was a moist area perhaps that made it worse. Sweet corn, rhubarb, castor beans, sweet poatoes seemed unaffected. Squirrels would bury walnuts in flower beds, small seedlings would kill plants. Keep walnuts in woods, they are a disaster. After what I went thru I can easily believe the worst.
