Typically anything over what a non-WSing person would consider 'normal' is met with that glazed look.

My mom and sister came and visited me last week end and saw all my jugs on the patio. There is literally no where for a person to stand so you have to do the step over thing and the in between thing to get to the yard. My sister said "Gosh Daniele, don't you think you over did it? There must be like 500 jugs here!".

I only have around 70ish.
But the good news is she was so impressed with it she said she was gonna go home and try it out herself.

You know, mine doesn't look like all that much. People would never, ever guess the variety I have out there, though, well over 70 different kinds of plants! Everything I did was on a much smaller scale than the average winter sower would do. I have a couple of lasagna pans with 13 different kinds of flowers in each, and then some kitty litter pans with 12 types in each. I guess normally that would be about 50 jugs? I also have quite a few water bottles and a dozen or so jugs. The gallon size jugs have at least four varieties in each. Most of it fits in my 3x5 cold frame.

Hubby no longer questions anything I do as far as gardening and the house goes. He knows it's much easier to just go along with me on stuff rather than argue about it.

My hubby just keeps asking if I have enough plants so we will spread less mulch. We made flower beds all over the place and barely have enough plants to fill them so there is lots of mulch!

Wow...I'm speechless. The next time my daughter complains how gardening obsessed I am, I'm going to show her this thread. I only have 15 jugs out there, and have about 7 more to do. I don't have the energy to plant out 70 jugs worth of plants.

Although I do have 6 flats of seedlings inside under lights. They're annuals - I like to have blooms by May, so I do them indoors. The impatiens are getting ready to bloom under the lights.

My brain thinks I only have 35 containers. When I counted them from one of my pictures, it was somewhere 60 to 70 containers. 3 days ago, I added 8 containers. A minute ago, I added 1 container. LOL. It's past 12am and I am still gardening! Hehehe. It's for the buddleia seed that Thomas taught me the other day.

Wife doesn't question me anymore. ;)

my DH came after long official trip. he does not like me gardening and saw those 70+ containers i planted in his absence. I was worried.
"what is this?"
"i have planted seeds in those"
"can you put them in one corner instead of spreading all over the place."

what else he would have said, after all he loves me ;)

Many of us have more than 75..!! I have over 200!

I have enjoyed doing them. I have more seeds and milk jugs, and I still have to do a few annuals! Might end up with about 230, not sure.

If everything germinates I may have to give quite a few away. But that will be fun!

Hope you have many blooms!

These are funny,
mine is just the opposite,i am the one who goes out and looks, says to my self,Gosh, i thought i had more than this,i better get busy, i am not going to have enough to plant,i have 215,so far, will be doing annuals next week.
I know now i really do need help.
I will have to ask hubby when he gets home how many he thinks i have,this will be interesting.
