Current plan is to:
Slop out the gutters

Drag the shelves out and wash w/ fairy then powerhose them down

Wash the glass and frame inside with fairy and rinse/squeegee off

Spray disinfectant about (what's the best choice?)

Run all the empty pots and saucers through a hot, soapless dishwasher cycle

Put water butt disinfectant in the water butts and let them fill up again

Figure out how to get the leaves and stuff off the ground (I've gravel, i should probably think about laying flagstones)

What am i missing?
