Yep. Several of my raised beds are right next to the tree. I use those for winter wheat, winter rye, strawberries and I got one year of great melons, before the soil borne disease set in - haven’t been able to grow a decent melon since then.

That stinks. We have little flat ground that is also cleared, so we use containers for all of our vegetables and herbs. From our house down to the little stream in the side “yard”, it’s about 15 feet in height, with a steep slope. Our front yard is where the septic system is, and the well is in the back. Everything else is woods and brush, with varying levels of height. The other side of the house is narrow and slopes sharply up to our neighbor’s yard. I planted some bamboo there along the driveway for screening in an attempt to keep their dogs from barking so much.
