Ah, wouldn't I love to get back to the Northwest Flower & Garden Show again
Are you planning to go to any of them Toby?

I don’t think I will be able to make any of the US Gardening Shows, although I do wish the promoters and their exhibitors the best of luck in 2012.

There are other expenses to take into consideration, such as gasoline for the automobile, entrance fees, parking fees, etc. I overshot my Christmas budget this year, and so will have to reduce my entertainment expenses by hiking the paths in public gardens, parks, etc., to get my inspirations.

There is also a wealth of wonderful gardening knowledge available online and in magazines. I plan on supporting several of my local garden dealers, with purchases for vegetable seeds and possibly an ornamental plant or two.

That's a noble gesture Toby. Its people like you who will help them ride the current financial storm.

My nephew is an accountant and I consulted him for advice on my tax returns. He told me that many small businesses will find it difficult to keep going after submitting their Tax returns - deadline today.
Its a shock when you find how much tax you have to pay, and if that money had been spent on attempting to keep the business afloat, its pretty much disaster.

A budget eh? We used to have one of those. Lovely little bird  :
