Yes always do so. We are on clay mostly, then some chalk. Heavy soil so you learn what works and what doesnt. ( despite planting on the wrong spot just because you want it there.. And Nature always strikes back at us!
So pot up, more than once if need be, place plants in the area I hope they will be happiest and watch them. Some can never over winter outdoors, we are in an odd pocket that feels the cold even more than the next village, so my dear shed becomes a winter nursery. And even then, in shed and fleeced some fail to make it.
