    my "garden" is all hard landscaped - a long Victorian side-return and a small-ish paved area - so everything is in containers:

    Laurels and ivy x 3
    Fatsia x 1
    Various ferns x 9
    Climbing hydrangeas x 2
    Bamboos x 4
    Various grasses x 14
    Sweetpeas and morning glory x 3
    Water containers x 2
    Various salvias x 7
    Various lavenders x 4
    Various other herbacious perennials (veronica, agastache, sea holly, etc.) x 12
    Grape vines x 2
    Cordylines x 2
    Phormium x 1
    Agapanthus x 2
    Alpines x 1
    Hostas x 3

    So 72 in all - and there are still spaces that I think need more pots ...

      I seem to increase every year, plants that seem to suffer in the ground get lifted, and into pots with slug tape, stocking up in the sales.

        Well, I stopped at 200 and decided to take some quick photos :)

        The pots and containers aren't arranged in any particular way except to get them out of the way for when we had hundreds of visitors :heehee:

        We have about twelve of these big pots with giant hostas (all flowers removed now) and we've got things stacked between them at the moment :sad:

          More are scattered around the patio

          P1210279.JPG

          P1210280.JPG

          This is one of the nursery areas where about a third of them are not for sale and we have other larger areas where nearly everything is for sale
          P1210281.JPG

          These are being looked after in the shade at the moment
          P1210282.JPG

          And, of course, we mustn't forget the greenhouse :phew:
          P1210283.JPG

          Or the hanging baskets - these are just a few
