Hi I live on Long Island , Ny . I have been growing plants and
flowers as a hobby but I would like to turn it into a business by
next spring/summer. Any suggestions on what to plant? I have some
ideas, for example I will start my tulip bulbs in fall. I have
already started my compost pile in the back yard. Any ideas or help
would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance
If you are asking this kind of question you are clearly not ready to
run
such a business yet.

I recalled the story of Democrat Presidential candidate, George
McGovern, opening a business after his political career:
http://www.logomaker.com/blog/2012/1...nd-government/
To bad he had not learned this before getting into politics.
Cute. In order to make a political point, the blogger deliberately
excised the first sentence in the paragraph he quoted from the
article. That first sentence is:
"My own business perspective has been limited to that small hotel and
restaurant in Stratford, Conn., with an especially difficult lease and
a severe recession."
Further on in the article, McGovern again attributes the regional
economy as a significant factor in the inn's bankruptcy. He also
points out that he isn't against regulation - he's against 'one size
fits all' rules for businesses, and calls for more flexibility taking
other factors (not just number of employees or annual income) in
account when creating them.
The current White House occupant is also lacking in this knowledge 
As are most Republican politicians, which is why historically
Republicans have driven up the deficits, which successive Democratic
congresses have then been left to grapple with (and take the blame
for). In my home state the Republican Party has found itself on the
brink of bankruptcy, burdened by massive debts they took on as a
result of spending money they didn't have. No surprise there - the
chair of the party had a history of doing the very same thing in his
failed business ventures.
