Outdoor growing fun!

So I am an indoor gardener, but I want to extend my abilities to outdoor gardening.
I am moving to a place that's perfect for guerilla gardening - lots of cover, and lots of space.
I have a problem though - the soil where I live is very sandy and clay like - in new mexico.
What strains would grow well in this media???
The soil is basically good for growing yucca and cacti.
Any help would be appreciated! Thank you.

Nobody ?? *BUMP*

Ah no! No one wants to help me =(

Hrm.. ok final bump. Im still holding out for someone to notice the thread and reply =P

Why not just put compost down where you want to plant and grow whatever you want?
