Do you know all the hard-core gardeners I've known in real life have been very organized. Also, I don't think your organization has to make sense to anyone - organized is organized. But I know what you mean. My file cabinet organization is so wacky I can't even post it here, people might faint. @Matt so technically you may be the most organized. I've always read that no one is really born organized, that you can learn organization, but it does seem like some are and some aren't - especially when you look at siblings all raised the same by organized parents and then only one of the kids ends up organized. If it's not genes, I wonder what makes organized folks and not organized folks tick - where's that little something that makes a difference. BTW if I knew this I bet I'd be rich. :) @Linette that’s so odd. Do you know all the hard-core gardeners I’ve known in real life have been very organized.

However, that's because he's a Marine, and organization is kinda a requirement. lol Before he joined the Marines, I would say I was the most organized.

My younger sisters are both more organized than I am. I always say I'm organized in my head, but not on the outside if that makes any sense. I know where everything is at, but my organization does not make sense to anyone else. My husband is the organized one (he's a youngest child), he likes everything in its place. My son is the only child and is not organized at all, and hates to pick up after himself. It's a constant battle to get him to pick up. I am the oldest, and most disorganized in my family.

That's a surprise. Cedar is an only and he's organized, but not tidy at all - if that makes sense. He is not inclined to pick up, but when he does, he's all about things having a place and using bins. Cedar's dad is a fourth born and so unorganized it's not even funny. But he's tidy about it. When he cleans, he really cleans, while I just clean minimal to keep things organized. But, he'd never be able to find Cedar's medical records. People are strange.
