IIRC you have said you spend a lot of time around swamps. Bring buckets of that soil home and mix it with the sugar sand. Swamp soil is very fertile. Also keep a composter so that you can make your own soil from discarded vegetable matter. It would help offset the amount of soil that you would have to buy to start a garden. Root vegetables like a sandy soil so without a huge amount of soil amendment you could grow potatoes, carrots, turnips, parsnips as well as other plants like lettuce, strawberries, peppers, corn, squash, zucchini, collard greens and tomatoes which are grown commercially in sandy soils.
In quoting my post, you affirm and agree that you have not been goaded, provoked, emotionally manipulated or otherwise coerced into responding.

We've had some hot days and then some rain and the garden is strting to take off.

Mine is too but this is my first year so it's more of an experiment this time around. Learned one lesson so far: I don't need more than 4 or 5 herbs. I planted 5 basil plants, 2 Italian parsley, 1 thyme and 2 oregano. Now I've got too much and I'm trying to figure out different ways of using them. I have 2 jalapeno plants and 2 serrano pepper plants. They are just starting to flower. Looking forward to that harvest. I'm going to make chili for sure. That's it so far but I have another 6 square feet so I may pick up some more seedlings from Ace Hardware tomorrow.
After the peppers are harvested I am going to plant a Fall crop of kale and turnip greens.
Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.
