I waffled on this one because I have the vast majority of my plants in the ground, but if I was strictly a ground person, then I wouldn't be so enamored with my potted plants. I have an acre to garden so I don't need container gardens, but I love the look of them. I have several whiskey barrel water gardens, several flower and tomato whiskey barrel gardens, some large pots with basil and geraniums in them and a whole bunch of hypertufa pots with sedum and sempervivum in them. This year I'll be making even more hypertufa pots. I just love the look of them and how I can move them around the yard.
