That is the question my wife is asking me. We are planning to buy a house this year and we are wanting to limit the number of planters we put in. It needs to be in light weight containers and can take abuse when we do move them. That means a soil mix that is mostly peat moss and then plants that like that type of soil. It is also a good time to go through our old plastic pots and then recycle those that are starting to wear out and then buy new ones when we get a new place. We also will be planting varieties that can grow in full light, partial light and low light as we won't know which way the yard will face.
Herbs and spices should be OK as I normally put them into smaller and portable pots. I think geraniums will do well in most conditions and in prior years the planters on the fence line were almost 50% peat moss. I am hoping the sedums will take the move OK as those planters are quite big and heavy.
It is early (very early), but, I started my initial grass seeding on the west side of the house. This location is protected on three sides and open to the south. It gets quite warm there and the grass is already green and growing so it may be safe to start seeding there. I have been doing this for the last several years and slowly we are getting grass to grow there. Initially it was a very sandy and rocky soil that had only weeds growing and when my potting soils were exhausted I spread it out there and raked it in.
