Here at OH! My Garden we will tell of the trials and tribulation of having a garden in the South, the soil is sand. This area is called the sandhills and that is just what the soil mostly consist of. The soil is an acid soil and has a limited amount of flowers and gardening plants that will grow, we work hard to get it to a better growing medium.

Certain plants love this acid soil such as azaleas, rhododendrens, camelias and gardenias. I am accumulating a list of perennials, annuals, shrubs and trees that are acid loving plants that I can grow in my sandy soil.

My favorite plants are herbs and I am working to get an assortment of herbs growing in my garden. Since my sandy soil is not the type of soil some of these herbs need to grow, I have started some raised herb beds to help accomplish my goal of having a large variety of herbs.
