Georgia Gardening: too many plants still in pots!, 0 by hcmcdole

I would say around 500. I set up the basement and garage last year with 5 wooden benches 8 foot long, 2 foot deep and 10 chrome shelving units (the ones you get at Sam's). There are over 60 shop lights on around 12 hours a day. It does seem a bit crazy (stupid) to have this many but I'm not addicted. Just like them a lot and can't live without them. So far, my wife hasn't kicked me out of the house but has put her foot down on bringing any into the living area. So there are 5 AV's in the bathroom, 4 begonias in the kitchen/living room, 1 streptocarpus in the living room, and I can usually bring the biggest aloe pot into the living room and maybe one agave in the dining room for winter.

Then I see some of the people in California and Florida where they can grow things outdoors year round and still have 1000's of potted plants.


Here are two of the wooden benches I made.
