            This is a shot of my dining room table after planting 30 cups worth of seeds for my garden. It looks rather neat after all that work. Usually I have dirt all over the table and floor. For some reason it wasn't as bad this year. Maybe I got tired of having a huge mess to clean each year? So when you do seeds or repotting plants do you tend to make a mess or are you the neat type?

                    I put newspaper under my pots so that if I make a mess, it's caught on the newspaper which I then roll towards the centre from the edges and discard. Then I don't have a whole lot of mess to clear up!
Brightest Blessings my friend.

                    I try to be neat, and usually succeed, but I always put down some newspaper first to catch any spills.

                            I use newspaper as well as this photo shows.
But most times the dirt gets flying so much.
Hahahaha! I did good this time though.

                            Yeah all told I have about 125 things planted.
Plus we buy some plants as well come May.
So it is going to be bigger than last years.
Hopefully, that's if I do the digging that needs to be done. Hahaha!

                    Hi GRANDPA BOB,
I normally make a mess when I am re-potting and I do out side so its just needs sweeping up so I don't do anything potting indoors as I am very messy.
Tamara

                    I do things like that on my back porch. It's like a little room, actually, all closed in. I guess you'd call it a mud room. I lay newspaper on the floor so it's not too messy. I hate cleaning and that saves me a lot of mess. I still haven't done any planting in my little pots, been so busy, but I'll have to soon.

                            Once it is warm outside I do a lot of transplanting etc oput on the back porch. I just hose the dirt off or I do it in the grass. Makes it a lot easier. But it's still too cold to so anything outside as far as gradening and or planting etc.

                    Great job! I have had huge trouble trying to plant things for my garden and my kitchen is the one that is messy. It is so dirty and there is dirt everywhere. I think next year I am going to put some newspaper to cover the floor before I organize everything that I am going to plant. I am surely the messy type but trust me I am working hard to change that!

                    Don't know if I should be in awe of your ability to not make a mess in this instance, or yell the word "hoax" at the top of my lungs. This is a very tough decision. Guess I should whisper it, so as not to spook the neighbors.
The few times I tried gardening outside, I couldn't help but get dirt everywhere. I got it in my hair, all over my clothes, and even managed to get dirt on the ground. Though, in retrospect, I guess dirt on the ground isn't that big of a deal. The ground is made out of dirt peat's sake. If it was a floating garden out at sea, then it would be a problem.
Neat people intrigue me. I don't know how anybody can spend so much time with organizing anything, and still manage to get things done. Productivity as a whole is amazing to me. After going to the bank to make a deposit, I'm totally spent for the rest of the day.

                            I am good at dirt all over as well once outside doing things. I leave more dirt on my feet than in the ground too it seems all too often. Plus my beagle Buster tracks a lot of dirt indoors.

                    Hey Grandpa Bob
Planting seeds and cleaning room can harden the body,yet i am not the neat person, sometimes i make it too messy. i always put a newspaper to keep the table clean. When i am in the good mood,i will take huge hard work to clean everywhere. So sometimes i am a neat person, yet not always.
                    
                            
                        

                    






 You sure accomplish a lot what with all your other activities and taking care of your dad. Of course I'm sure Buster looks out for the whole lot of you.
