Hello Prairiegirl, You sound like you have a nice place there. Our yard is a little unusual, we are on a cul-de-sac. I like it because front yard is shape of piece of pie, small, easy to keep up. Backyard is fairly wide. On the back side of the house (along the house) I am experimenting with different perennials. Garden in yard is small (really small) but I manage to put a few veggies, herbs in. In spring my cilantro (yummy) comes up and I plant a few seeds such as lettuce, radishes. They are done by the time my annuals start to really get going. It works pretty good to do some early spring growing items to fill in the garden while other things are just waking up. Have lavender, lemon balm, chives, Rhubarb & a strawberry that has only struggled but keeps coming back for another try. Have a space by the house I plant a tomato and cucumber. That has been the extent so far. As far as I know it is still a good time to be moving things around, you should be able to go ahead and do some of that. I've moved perennials in Fall before with no problems.
