Welcome to the world of small business, Jesse:-)  Everybody's got
their hand out.  Seems like the prevailing thought is that if you
have a business, you must be rich or something:-)

When we, as gardeners, complain about the price of a plant, we forget
what it costs the plant producer to just bring that child to market.

If you haven't read Tony Avent's "So You Want to Start a Nursery",
you need to get your hands on a copy.
