I can tell you that growing in a raised bed garden in Florida is the way to go. You won’t have much luck in the sand with your vegetables. I have grown tomatoes in five gallon buckets and that works also but with either method it’s all about the soil. You have to be able to give your plants the soil that they need and you just can’t do that with Florida sand. There are other things you have to consider with growing vegetables in Florida such as heat, correct amount of sunlight, season for planting, etc. But those will be for another post.
