She hates all the pots and containers I have in the back. She think I have too many plants and it looks like Sanford and Son. I admint that aesthtics hasn't been my primary concern and I have probably gone overboard in some respects, but I love growing things to eat! She thinks I should stop buying plants. I have a Bay tree on order as we speak and I'm still interested in many more types of citrus and pepper plants. I'm just getting started! I know I need to make it look better, but sun and shade have been my main concerns.

She also doesn't get the growing from seed thing, because of the scattered pots in ugly little things really makes her mad. It's just junk to her! Sad

Change of "she" would be the easiest. Very Happy
Just joking...

It seems most everyone has this issue at one time or another, it's a clear sign of "You need more Land", a larger section of property will allow you to have more of what you want and dilute the cluttered area, it will also let you have more space to hide in behind larger containers or field grown trees.

Maybe a bit of aesthetics, carefully applied, would be beneficial!

The more land thing does the trick. I went from 0.11 acres to 5.5 acres. Now my wife complains because she never sees me anymore. Smile Just remind her it was her choice not to look all of the pots anymore.

Working on the aesthetics now, but yeah, someday more land!

I think the hardest part is the smaller plants. Growing from seed, I tend to move seedlings around some to protect them. The number of smaller containers is just never going to look nice for these.
