I have masses of plants in pots.
I haven’t counted recently but I know there are a lot.
There are pots of flowers, some herbs and some vegetables, and a few fruit trees.
I also have some succulents and cactuses.And three water gardens.
The container gardens are spread around most parts of our property.
There are some on the front steps and balcony, more in the back porch, down the side of the back steps and on the landing.
The back wall of the house is lined with pots of plants.
Along the opposite side of the path there are yet more.
My potting shed/summerhouse has pot gardens in front of it.The courtyard has a few more plants in pots and there are usually some in the vege garden.
Some of the pots need a good tidy up.Others are looking good.
I have to restrain myself from buying more pots. Really, I think I probably have enough.
But I may recycle some household junk.

This is a Container garden that is known to be in USDA Hardiness Zone 9b. It has mainly Potting Mix soil and receives Partial Sun light.
