...you discover you not only have dirt under your fingers, but under your wedding and engagement rings.
So, the 7'+ zucchini vine has been coiled onto a bare patch of dirt (thus foiling the kitties from lazing about there, getting dirty); two baby spider plants I rooted off of their mamas have been placed in house-worthy pots and brought into the living room; three other baby spider plants are now getting rooted; all the spider plants plus the strawberry planter plus the zucchini plus the five geraniums have had their dead leaves cleared out; the dead basil has been tossed and one of the geraniums upgraded to its pot; the seven eggplant plants have been upgraded to larger pots; the chives have gotten a larger pot; the smallest geranium has gotten a larger pot; the hummingbird feeder has been brought in to undergo washing; the melon vines have been pulled and trashed; two of the three trellises have been stacked; the patio has been swept clean of dirt.
The sad thing about all this? The end result of cleaning still remains "nothing," as it's a subtractive process rather than an additive one.
