Last Chance in Mansfeld: Taxes, Gardening and Tea

A look at upcoming deadlines in the town of Mansfield.

If you haven't done your taxes yet, you're almost out of time.

Whether you're doing them yourself or hiring someone, the deadline is fast approaching. Due Date of a Return Personal income tax returns are due on or before April 15th following the close of each tax year. When the due date for filing tax returns falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the filing may be made on the next succeeding business day. In Massachusetts, April 16, 2012 is Patriot's Day, a legal holiday in the Commonwealth. Massachusetts returns and payments normally due on April 15 will be treated as timely filed if they are filed on or before April 17, 2011. The due date for filing 2011 personal income tax returns that would normally be April 15, 2012 is Tuesday, April 17, 2012.

Last week, our "" poll asked readers where the best local spot was to get taxes done. Easton residents resoundingly said on North Main Street in downtown.

This week is your last chance to learn how to properly dig up and transplant plants in your garden or yard. Presented by the Mansfield Garden Club on Thursday, April 12.

It's easy to dig up a plant, but not as easy to know how to dig it up safely and transplant or pot it so it will survive and thrive.  This month our gardens are waking up and we are all getting excited about our plans for the new growing season.  We ask ourselves  "What will I divide and share?  What will I move to a better location?".    Come learn the proper methods for digging, dividing, transplanting, potting and repotting.  You and your garden will be the better for it.
