Default What can one grow in sand??

I've been very seriously considering moving to sw FL within the next year
(somewhere around Ft Myers & vic.), and would *really* like to hear
everyone's personal disappointments & successes as far as what your
expectations of gardening down there were; I mean of any kind (growing for
sustenance OR ornamentals).





Why do you think it is only sand?
It is a much faster draining soil to be sure, but it is more than just sand.
With a little basic amending you can enjoy a wonderful and diverse gardening
experience.
