If I hadn’t already moved my onions out to the cold frames I would have had over 300

Kathy, I’m tickled that Evan commented to chide you about his orange tree. See, you had more than you thought!

Very nice post! What a pretty vase for your hyacinth bulb. I took photos yesterday, but am tardy in creating a post.

I love the Aloe Vera. We had one growing up and we’d occasionally break off a stem to use it to treat a sunburn. A good looking and useful plant =)

You have bunches more than I do, and I love how you listed them. This has been fun.~~Dee

You should address your questions to Mr. McGregor’s Daughter. I think she said each seedling should be counted individually. Sprouting potatoes–personally, I wouldn’t count them. But it’s her census, not mine.

Do we count *each* seedling? Or each pot or tray of them? What about potatoes that have sprouted but not yet made it in the ground?

I did! I forgot! It is now corrected.

What makes my orange tree not count as a house plant? =(

(I bet you just forgot it…)

Thanks for participating. I do want to know how many people have less, in the interests of truth and fairness. (But I am starting to feel rather smug.) The number of indoor plants can be surprising once you start counting them.
