Other tips for a new gardener: If the madness begins to take over your
entire life (which it will when seed catalogs arrive in January), remember
that you can always shuffle garden expenses into other parts of the
household budget. For instance, since gardening is good exercise and
relaxing, some of the expenses can go under "Health care". If you plant
shrubs to block the winter wind, the expense goes under "Utilities". If
you
plant things with thorns to block windows which might attract burglars,
that
goes under "Home Security or Repair". Any edible plants obviously fall
into
the food budget. If you do this right, you'll find you're spending next to
nothing on gardening.

This is too funny! Did you get that from somewhere or did you make it up
right here all on your own?
