        Jeez - that was scary! I gave up at 60 permanently planted up. So probably about 90 to 100:yikes:
        Plus the ones that are growing on for planting out.

            I counted 65 but that didn't include anything less than a 6" pot. So probably double that then.
            It included about 25 potted geraniums, lilies and hostas, plus a large range of permanently planted containers plus annual decorative containers plus 6 massive containers planted with edibles.

            Yes, every year I say I'm cutting down, too. I feel a bit guilty when I go on holiday because I have to devolve the watering responsibility onto various friends to whom I'm eternally grateful.

              As Madahhlia, I didn't count the little pots , only counted from 9" up . I have about 35 . I will be cutting back next year , as they are a pain to water . I grow all my veg in containers behind the shed , but next year I am going to use the Asda/Tesco method of vegetable supply ( and they do taste just as good ! He said ducking...!:biggrin: ) Just growing my lovely chillies in pots next year.

              My back garden is hard landscape, so have about 60 crowded about, not counting the small "growing on" plants.
              Another 12 out the front.

                I haven't counted, but if you include plants in pots that are being brought on for sale for charity then we have well over 1,000 :hate-shocked: :doh:

                    But it's not fair competition, really. :love30: I should just count the ones that are for us. May do that today :)
