I have never counted, some plants I find thrown away by people but mostly if I see a nursery I have to stop and look around. Any thing I don't have, I have to get it then I have to shift it around to find the perfect niche for it. I am dreading January when I start root and top growth pruning. End Feb when the sap just starts to rise then grafting starts.

Some Ficus.

Black pepper, quite frost hardy. In the ground it performs well as a huge clumpy bush, you can make it into a tree but a spineless one at that. One day the stem will flop over and make a new mound out of which a few more stems will form which in turn will flop over and it goes on.

Yes, seems like the work and care never ends. Very cyclical, very continuous. But rewarding and fulfilling, right? Loved the photos of all that you care for...

Thank you Bev but why is my garden shifting from the garden forum to the containers forum? Maybe because it is mostly in containers? I have to spend some time on the garden forum. Maybe tonight as all of you seem to be sleeping. Sweet dreams.
Regards,
Masud.

I'm awake now Masud. Big Grin

This thread has the perfect name 'Terracotta container art'.
My favorite one today is the one with the geranium in it. Thumbs up
And I love all the plants and little seedlings. Are some of those alyssum?
