Hehe...I passed the mark years and years ago. Are there different grades or levels of "real"? lol.

Does that mean I have a real garden now, instead of a "collection"? lol.

As long as it doesn't discourage those who don't have the room for 10k plants from planting all the same. "Real gardeners" includes anyone who keeps flowers in coffee cans on the porch railing. I plant and plant but have no idea what it all adds up to. Would like to fill my garden, at least, before I die. I've been busy on it this fall.

It doesn't discourage me at all. I hear you about the coffee cans. In a pinch I discovered the clear plastic lid to a Pringles can makes a perfect saucer for a seedling pot on the windowsill
