I decided to make use of the empty space under the fruit trees this year. I'd read in several places that nasturtiums under fruit trees wards off the baddies, so I gave that a shot, but I also grew some zucchini, cantaloupe and watermelon vines under the other trees, and I kinda like it. The only downside is that I shouldn't plant the same type of plants in the same location every year, so I'll have to figure out what else would go well under trees.

And a zucchini underneath a pear tree
