Different types of crops grown in different types of soil?

Different types of soil include sandy, silty, clay, and alkaline. Root vegetables, such as carrots, beets, potatoes, and radishes grow well in sand. Silty, loamy soils are ideal for growing most vegetables and flowers. The plants get nutrition from the rich soil. Corn, squash, pumpkins, and Okra do well in clay soil. Alkaline soils are difficult for gardeners to produce crops in, but beets, cabbage, and carrots are crops that do well in alkaline soil.
