Even flower lovers without green thumbs can find ways to save. Those who lack the time or expertise to do anything but stop by a greenhouse for annuals can cut costs by choosing low-maintenance varieties that spread out in the garden, requiring fewer plants to fill ,a space. Some annuals ;rre cheaper when purchased as bulbs rather than plants. Still , there is no way around it: Achieving significant savings can take time and effort. "Growing thin~s from seed is absolutely the cheapest way to go:' sa1d Ann Hancock , a horticulturalist at Michigan State University's DeLapa Perennial Garden in East Lansing, Mich . "You pay a premium for buying already-started plants from a greenhouse." To novices, nurturing plants from seed may seem tricky and tedious.

It 's OK to plant the seeds densely. Start them about six weeks before you intend to plant them outside. • Use clean containers with holes in the bottom for good drainage.

Plants that can be started indoors or seeded d1rectly mto the garden include zinnias, marigolds, snapdragons, sunflowers and nasturtiums. Sunflowers in particular ·can be started from seed pretty easily. and there are many kinds to choose from, said Charlie Nardozzi. a National Gardening Association horti, culturist based in Burlington, Vt. · "Some of the newer varieties are not as big as the old varieties, and they have multiple heads," Nardozzi said: "They produce from midsummer right to frost." A bonus with sunflowers: birdseed. Other good varieties to start indoors from seed include cosmos, petunias and cleome. also known as spider flower. Plugging into a network of flower. enthusmsts can be another way to save. said Ellen Hartranft, .a horticulturist at Brookside Gardens , a public botanical park in Wheaton. Md . . Check your local botanical garden for plant society shows and sales. go to charity plant sales or take part in garden club plant exchanges. "If you can't find a formal sale, just ask your friends and neighbors. If someone you know has a beautiful garden. they're often willing to share cuttings or divisions," Hartranft said. Spring is a11 ideal time to ask, because that's when gardeners are often dividing perennials into . multiple plants. '.' It's a good way to get a more established plant even than you would if you purchased it at a nursery," she said. "A division of a sturdy. successful , heruty plant is more likely to succeed in your garden :• · - Day lilies. bee balm, black-eyed susan, phlox, live forever and hostas are among easy-to-divide, easy-to-care-for perennials. For novices. buying plants from a greenhouse is often the safest option. Nardozzi said. Greenhouse annuals that grow to cover a lot of ground include impatiens . petunias. cosmos , snapdragons and marigolds. Annuals and perennials that can be cheaper if purchased as bulbs include caladiums, begonia's and dahlias . And plant prices come down after peak growing 'season. "They might be a little ragged-looking. but you can save 40 or 50 percent,'' Nardozzi said. The plants can bounce right ba~k with a little tender Iovin~ care, he added. . Gardeners in areas with poor sot! can save by creating · r-aised beds . building up the sides with cinderblocks. brick or other material and then putting fresh soil in, to lessen the chance the soi l will flatten out or leach away and have to be replaced. Nardozzi said. Those who decide to skip flowers this year would do well to put in a cover crop such as buckwheat or rye grass that can be cut or turned under. Nardozzi said. That will look ·nice, build up the soil's fertility for riext year's garden and · . help control weeds. Still ,even in the Great Depression people had flower gardens, Hartranft noted. "People can actually grow vegetables in their flower borders," she said. "The act of gardening relieves stress, and it's important to have beauty when you're surrounded by depressing news." Added Michigan State's Hancock : " I would never advocate buying !lowers if you have a house payment or an electricity bill to pay.

Monday, Marcllt6, 2009 ANNIE'S MAILBOX Permitting such dependence unhealthy Bv KATHY MrrcHELL AND MARCY SuGAR ~ Allnie: I have been marrit;:d for six years and have a 16-year-old stepdaughter. (She actually looks 18.) "Maureen" is quite emotionally immature. She won't try new things or socialize for fear of failure and the off chance that someone might make fun of her. Maureen has always been close to her father, but lately she seems increasingly de~ndent on him in unfamiliar social situations. She will sit on his lap , snuggle her face into his arm, hang from his shoulders and practically lie on top of him. It is extremely embarrassing. and I can't imagine what other people think. I worry someone will bot-line my husband for what appears to be inappropriate contact with his daughter. (I k.oow for certain there isn' t.) When I was 16, I did not have the urge to sit on my father's lap when there were boys my own age to think about. The situallon is starting to affect how I feel about my husband . He's just as guilty for allowing this behavior to continue. I have tried to be nice about it, telling Maureen. "I will ~et you a chair df your owti.' I have even said, "Please sit up and give your dad some space." My comments are consistently ignored. So am I overreacting, or is this an unhealthy codependent relationship? - Stepmom in the Middle Dear. Stepmom: Stop talking to Maureen about this and talk to your husband. He has to understand that permitting such dependence is not healthy for his dauBhter . and stifles her abi hty to mature. He is the only one who can discourage the constant physical and emotional neediness and teach her to replace it with something .more appropriate . A truly loving father helps his child become independent. even if that requtres a lot of work and causes some discomfort. If he doesn't know how to do it. suggest family counseling. Dear Annie: My husband and I read your column every morning at breakfast. I told him I was going to write and ask what you think of something he does.

Monday, Marcllt6, 2009 ANNIE'S MAILBOX Permitting such dependence unhealthy Bv KATHY MrrcHELL AND MARCY SuGAR ~ Allnie: I have been marrit;:d for six years and have a 16-year-old stepdaughter. (She actually looks 18.) "Maureen" is quite emotionally immature. She won't try new things or socialize for fear of failure and the off chance that someone might make fun of her. Maureen has always been close to her father, but lately she seems increasingly de~ndent on him in unfamiliar social situations. She will sit on his lap , snuggle her face into his arm, hang from his shoulders and practically lie on top of him. It is extremely embarrassing. and I can't imagine what other people think. I worry someone will bot-line my husband for what appears to be inappropriate contact with his daughter. (I k.oow for certain there isn' t.) When I was 16, I did not have the urge to sit on my father's lap when there were boys my own age to think about. The situallon is starting to affect how I feel about my husband . He's just as guilty for allowing this behavior to continue. I have tried to be nice about it, telling Maureen. "I will ~et you a chair df your owti.' I have even said, "Please sit up and give your dad some space." My comments are consistently ignored. So am I overreacting, or is this an unhealthy codependent relationship? - Stepmom in the Middle Dear. Stepmom: Stop talking to Maureen about this and talk to your husband. He has to understand that permitting such dependence is not healthy for his dauBhter . and stifles her abi hty to mature. He is the only one who can discourage the constant physical and emotional neediness and teach her to replace it with something .more appropriate . A truly loving father helps his child become independent. even if that requtres a lot of work and causes some discomfort. If he doesn't know how to do it. suggest family counseling.
