It's not just about the soil. It's about being able to go out all year long and not have 2 feet of snow around you for 2 or 3 months each year. It's about seeing the sun almost everyday.
As for soil, it's indeed black soil that's probably very good for growing tomatoes and other vegetables.

Yes indeed, thats what brings the tourists every winter, along with their money. brings more money into the state than all the agricultural products combined!
