Hi Marcus, yes there are no large trees here!
It’s the riddle of agroforestry, to grow good harvests of annual veg. In my experience it’s mostly about their roots taking moisture, some food too. Your mulches are feeding both trees and veg.
So winter and hungry gap veg are more possible, such as November-sown broad beans, garlic, early peas, spring cabbage sown August, and August or February sown spinach.
