Well look who it is!

Congrats on the purchase, my family has 30+ acres in Pennsylvania that I'll be moving back to next year, but it's all up the side of a mountain, so I'm afraid I don't have farming info. My grandparents have a pretty big garden they use for growing veggies, but our area is very sandy, so soil maintenance is a nightmare. They've had the best luck with string beans and tomatoes.

Lol, I followed a link here from DC about 2 hours ago. Haven't done much exploring yet!

I've tried to change my profile picture, but I guess it has to be approved first, and I followed the same link too

Co-incidence, my soil is sandy and string beans and tomatoes grow the best. In fact the peppers and cukes are being left out next year. Why fight the Father of Nature?
