Default Does anyone else struggle to keep a tidy greenhouse?

Of course it doesnt help when ds gets in and starts digging in last years cucumber pots and leaves a nice pile of soil all over the place and then trys to water it all in! I know that come a couple of weeks I will need ALL the staging for seedlings and the tidy up will happen but does anyone have any tips for keeping a tidy ship as it were? Does anyone else struggle with keeping it tidy - please tell me I am not the only one!!!

I haven't got one (yet) but I do have a very messy kitchen (potting shed) as the normal shed is so full of stuff I can't get in! Plus there maye be beasties lurking and I would rather plant int he warmth of the house! lol

OH said to me the other day I had tidied the shed - err no my little boy moved some things looking for his little spade, so he obviously did a good job!

I am dreading gettting the greenhouse if OH expects me to keep it tidy, got far more important things to do, like planting and watering and sowing seeds and the list goes on.....

I have a big polytunnal and a greenhouse with a poly shed on the back. In all, there's about 250 sq feet of staging....somewhere. I know it exists under all the strawbs and pots and trays and rubbish bags and tools and cups and buckets and...........
