Without knowing for sure where we would be living, I bought seeds anyway and planned to grow, even if it had to be in containers. To me, it doesn't really matter whether I've grown something in the ground or in a pot, but I do prefer having the space to grow more than a container would allow.
I won't have as big a garden as the past few years, but it won't deter me at all. Here is a small sampling of what I'll be growing this year.
Dill well on its way.
Mint transplanted from my old garden. I was really happy that it transfered so well.
Parsley from the old garden. This is having a harder time than the mint, but I'm confident it will take hold and get growing really well soon.
Cantaloupe, cabbage and carrots.
Morning glories from the seeds we harvested last year. I was so disappointed that we lost our seeds from a few years ago and had to start over, but I'm thrilled to have these growing so well now.
I have seeds sprouting for zucchini, eggplant, green beans, tomatoes, chives, cucumbers, sunflowers, cosmos, lavender, Canterbury bells and a set of tiger lily bulbs that I got for Mother's Day to plant. All is well when you're surrounded by so much green.

Your seedlings look much like Charley's... he's in bliss growing stuff, too. :-)
I'm glad so many of your plants made the move successfully! I hope you all are settling in to the new place well.
Congratulations for your blog.
I like your recipes and the stories you write.

Small gardens are still miraculous. We grow lots of great food on our tiny city lot -- and every year, when I pick that first tomato... succulent, red, and warmed by the sun...I remember why I do it!
