I didn't do a count-but it's over 100.
Annuals & Perennials.

OoS - looking good! What is the tree in the upper left hand corner (like I would even have room...lol)?

I had to finally do an inventory because I got carried away with hummer plants this year. I counted 104 containers with annuals, perennials, shrubs, & trees (including temperates & subtropicals) and I wouldn't be surprised if I forgot some. That's pretty bad. LOL

City patio. I just counted 38 pots with four more waiting for action, six window boxes, or similarly shaped things. And a thing that is hard to describe, but that I just put some sweet potato vines into (so that I don't have to dismantle it and cart it off).

In left corner in the back is a purple leaf plum.
The green one next to it is a chokeberry.
Climbing the gate trellis - honeysuckle on the left (behind the plum). On the right - hops.

At the moment,I have 35.I love container gardening and every year I say I'm cutting back,but every year I just add more.
It's an addiction I tell you!.

I've never made a count of all the pots but I have many containers that hold between 16 - 20 cu. ft. of soil. I estimated, based on the amount of perlite and pine bark I used, I changed out over 150 cu. ft. of container soil this year using a variation of Al's pine bark mixture. The volume of containers I didn't touch this year is around 65 cu. ft. so the total container space for my entire garden is up to around 215 cu. ft. Most of the big containers get seeded with wildflowers in the fall so they typically don't need attention except for weeding and watering. I am practically finished with planting this year and only foresee mixing one more 2 cu. ft. batch of soil for routine maintenance purposes. I'm kind of tired of this garden already LOL.

Each year I seem to increase the amount of container space by 1/3 to 1/2 so next spring I'll probably be up to 275 or 300 cu. ft.

If I get motivated I'll get this year's pics up into an album.

outofspite, you have me beat! I have empty pots waiting for late autumn and winter plantings (plus anything else I find for midsummer), full pots for midsummer, more full pots that have scraggly pansies and dormant spring bulbs in them (now baking so that I can remove the bulbs for storage and eventual re-planting), and lots of smaller things waiting to be moved up as they grow.

I don't know when I'll get to "winter" plantings--I'm sort of holding off until the holly I covet is available in the U.S. It's a yellow/green aquifolium variety with beautiful red stems and petioles. I. aquifolium 'Rubricaulis Aurea'. I don't know what will go in the "other" winter pots yet, either. Some kind of conifers, I suppose. Oh, wait. That's right. I want a Sciadopitys verticillata. Maybe a Ruscus aculeatus, as well?

I also plant pansies over my spring bulbs in their planters, and the pansies bloom all winter most years.

OoS - thanks! And you also answered my next question that would have been about the hops!

After seeing this I had to go and count. 53 including annuals, perennials, herbs and tropicals with some houseplants that live in a greenhouse for the winter. Mostly annuals... And that is on top of the 50'x20' perennial bed I have. I wish I had not counted...made me realize how much work there is ;-) Now we just need some rain!

Probably 20-25, none smaller than 12", none larger than 24" If it is larger than 24" I call it a raised bed ;-)

This doesn't count houseplants, of course.

Love the city pic! Myself about 50 to 60 or more. Have big garden rooms but love to make babies from canna,hydrangea,astibile,etc so there are plants all over the yard ... and part of driveway has a octagon tent with furniture and my house plants.
