Last year, we tried our hand at gardening. We were a little reassured by the fact that our sand could produce some plants, we started composting to add some nutrients to our sand, and we were totally underwhelmed by our production. We ended up with about two cucumbers, three green peppers, two salads worth of lettuce, some dead pea plants, and dirt under our fingernails. 
This year, however, we have read more, learned more, and moved our garden to a sunnier location. So far, MUCH better. Our cuke vines look like champs, our tomatoes are almost as tall as we are, we even got a volunteer tomato plant out of our compost pile and relocated him to the garden, and our basil--just look at how happy those little basil plants are! We've also got some pepper plants just starting to blossom, so we're hopeful on that front too.
We got our tomatoes from a farmer's market in a nearby town, and they include one "stump of the world," two "abe lincolns," and a "black cherry" (That's the one as tall as me!) We also had an early wonder which gave us three or four tomatoes, and gave the squirrels five or six, and then promptly died. I guess it was a REALLY early wonder, in all things.
At any rate, take a look. Give us some pointers. Leave us some comments.
