6. It's addictive. We've got a lot of in-ground space and STILL have dozens of containers.

Right now I've got the A-frame I built 20 years ago sitting in the living room with six flats of 36 cells each - all but the basil are vegetables. The kitchen, bathroom(s) and dining room are also full of potted plants. With the mild winter, several of the outdoor annuals didn't realize the season had (allegedly) changed and are back in full bloom. If you grow peppers, try bringing some with unripe fruit inside before the first frost. We harvested our last habanero in February - it ripened just fine inside. We have had some container herbs escape - banana mint, lemon balm, cilantro, catnip, chives, and dill in particular.

I like the little hanging clay pots in the last picture - EXCELLENT idea!
