Congrats on the move. Sounds like you're in for some fun times with the garden. I've come to believe that unless you have 40 acres and a mule, raised beds are the way to go, if only because you can make your soil what you want it to be and you don't have to worry about chasing it down the street in the spring rains. Raised beds also lend themselves to intensive, square-foot plantings. It's surprising what you can grow in a couple of 4X12-foot raised beds.

Hi all-
For those who knew of our impending move, we did make it to Missouri.  Long car ride, one car sick cat, but otherwise an uneventful and smooth trip.  Weather he hasn't been too bad yet (I'm grateful for that), and just trying to get acclimated to a new place.
Found a list of garden centers this evening, and realized that Baker Seeds is only an hour away!  woohoo!
The yard here seems to be a light layer of soil (like maybe 3 inches) covering a giant rock pile.  So, not sure what is going to grow, but there is always pots.
Hope everyone is staying warm and enjoying some holiday time,

Theresa
