Thanx. The vegetable garden is a great idea:

I wonder what grows best in sandy soil.

I gardened in sandy soil and it was somewhat challenging. I grew great corn, tomatoes so-so, cucumbers nil, herbs fabulous and zucchini seems to flourish everywhere, lol. We were also on the coast so had to contend with dampness, but a generally mild climate. I recommend LOTS of soil amendment.

P.S. I just saw on another thread that potatoes grow well in sandy soil and, as a matter of fact, I did well with another root crop: rutabagas.
