Up in PA, our yard contained nothing that could remotely be considered "soil", so I grew tomatoes in raised beds...for the deer. Later, it was strictly for herbs.
Down here, I don't have soil either, because I'm on a sandy barrier island, and my side was "reinforced" with dredging when they created the intracoastal waterway. It holds nutrients poorly, so regular feeding is a must. Herbs planted in the yard explode into growth. I planted a 6" pot of rosemary in the summer of 2017 and it's now a "bush" about 6' in diameter.
I have a couple of pineapple guavas as part of the landscaping - interesting fruit, but I don't know that I'm sold on them.
