Looking for the perfect plant Note: Concerning our upcoming Pecan Grafting Workshop in last week’s article, the correct day and time is THURSDAY, April 20 at 6:30 p.m. at the Payne County Expo Center. One of the most common questions horticulturists hear is “what is the ideal plant for X location?� Alas, if only it were that easy to answer. The short answer is it depends. It probably comes as no surprise that this is not the answer most people are looking for, but it is the reality. Aside from asking an expert (and enduring 20 questions to help narrow the search), how does a novice determine which plants to choose for specific sites? A good place to begin is finding plants that appeal to you growing in similar environmental conditions to your own site. Explore the area and see what draws you to the landscape. The most important
Home Grown KEITH REED factor in choosing plants is the amount of available sunlight. In general, landscape plants are fairly tolerant of some variation in light conditions although most perform best under a fairly limited range of light, full sun, partial shade, etc. For landscape plantings adjacent to buildings, observance of which side a building a plant is growing on can offer a good hint for light preferences. Plants that excel on the south and west sides of buildings tend to do well in hot sunny conditions. Plants prospering on the north or east side of buildings indicates their ability to tolerate shade. Site specific conditions are referred to as microclimate. Searching for
plants that thrive in similar soil conditions is also important. Most plants are fairly tolerant of a wide range of soils, within reason of course. For Payne County residents, soils very high in clay are those most limiting to healthy landscape plant growth. On the other extreme are the sandy soils adjacent to the Cimarron River near Perkins. Searching for plants can be fun, but it can also be frustrating if you cannot identify the plants you like when you see them growing in the landscape. This is where places like The Botanic Garden at OSU come in handy. The Botanic Garden is a marvelous place to see plants growing

in the landscape, especially since they are labeled properly for easy identification. The Botanic Garden is most well known as the home of OSU’s Oklahoma Gardening public television program. The garden is
located on the west side of Stillwater and can be accessed (with a short walk) from the entrance on the 3300 block of W.6th. For those unable to make the Âź mile walk, the garden can also be accessed from the north entrance at
3425 W. Virginia. This entrance is open from 8AM to 5PM Monday thru Friday and from 10-3 on the first and third Saturday of every month. For more information of this or any other horticultural topic, you can con-

My name is Austin and I was able to retire from the traditional workforce in my early 30s, just seven years after the start of my real estate investment journey. My wife and I were fortunate to be introduced to the idea of building passive income early in our careers. We know that if we were able to achieve the dream of financial freedom, it is attainable for anyone. This column is my way to share our journey with others who may be seeking financial freedom and their own version of the “good life” for themselves. It is a truly wonderful thing; to be in control of exactly how you spend your time. You can call it retirement, but financial freedom is a more accurate descriptor. Retirement often conjures up images of a sloth-like existence, collecting sea shells, just waiting for the reaper. Productivity is a big part of life satisfaction and happiness, and that happiness is maximized by spending your time on the things that bring you the most joy. For us, retirement means we spend our time reading, volunteering, working on

First master-planned community dates to 16th century A small seaside town in Florida, founded in 1565, still influences the way that nearly every American city is configured today. DEAR MR. MYERS: My brother lives in St. Augustine, Florida. He boasts that it was the first master-planned community in America, but I looked it up online and can’t confirm it. Can you? ANSWER: Most historians agree that the lovely seaside town of St. Augustine (pop. 13,000) did indeed become the first master-planned community in North America when it was founded by the Spanish in 1565. The fledgling town was laid out by following a document known as the “Law of the Indies,” a lengthy set of rules that the Spanish Crown issued to guide development and other issues in its American and Philippine possessions. A key tenet of the document mandated that a common area - the predecessor of the modern-day town plaza - be built in the center of the community so “there will always be sufficient space where the people may go to for recreation and take their cattle

replace only your home and possessions after a fire or other calamity - minus a deduction for depreciation up to the limits of the policy itself. A replacement cost policy is more thorough, because it will pay to replace any items that were lost or stolen without any depreciation deductions. To illustrate, let’s say a small fire destroyed your 3-year-old washing machine and dryer. If you had an actual cash value policy, the insurer would factor in the age of the appliances before cutting a check. The amount probably wouldn’t
cover the entire cost of buying new ones. If you had a replacement cost policy instead, the insurer would pay the entire cost of replacing the burned-up appliances with new ones of comparable quality. No depreciation deductions would cut into your reimbursement check. Because replacement cost policies offer more protection, says a spokesperson for the nonprofit Insurance Information Institute (www.iii.org), they usually cost about 10 percent more than cash value policies.

How to avoid becoming ‘house poor’ Dear Dave, I read where you recommend having your house payment or rent at an amount that’s 25 percent or less of your monthly take-home pay. Does this figure include property taxes and insurance too? – Mark Dear Mark, Yes, it does. I’m trying to keep you from being “house poor.” Did you know you can qualify for a house payment, with taxes and insurance, that’s close to half of your take-home pay?

Q: Dear Ed, you are my plumbing guru and I wanted to ask you a remodeling question for my smaller bathroom. I really want to have a whirlpool tub and need to ask: How can I fit a larger than standard tub into my new bathroom? – Paul, Texas A: For any bathroom layout, you need to get all your fixture specifications first to make sure everything will fit into your space. Now that this basic info is out of the way, I also recommend that
you look into a corner bathtub with a built-in apron. Corner install tubs can be a little larger than a standard tub, and a with the finished apronfront side, you may open up even more bathroom space. More good news is many corner baths can be ordered with whirlpool or bubble massage features. Also, some corner bath layouts may even include lumbar support, heated surfaces and room for two users. Bottom line: With this space-saving tub, you can put yourself into a corner without being punished.

A grow-with-them room for boys By Mary Carol Garrity Tribune News Service
I predict that when Tammy and Tyler’s boys are 27, they will still want to live at home with their folks, just so they don’t have to leave their amazing bedroom behind. This welcoming retreat is designed to delight its current inhabitants – 11-yearold Carter and 8-year-old Sawyer – now and for years to come. When I saw this bedroom suite for the first time, I wanted to move in too! When this family’s home sold quickly a few years ago, they needed someplace to
move into fast. They had looked at their now-home previously but shied away from it because it needed more work than they were willing to do. But with the new, compressed deadline, they gave it a second visit. Once the kids saw the quirky upstairs bedroom, with its nooks, crannies and secret room accessible through a revolving door masquerading as a bookcase, they lobbied hard to buy this diamond-in-therough. Tammy relented, and got to work turning the space into boy heaven. (Now, the secret room is outfitted with a TV and comfy chairs, the
perfect clubhouse for the boys and their friends.) When Tammy purchases furniture, she gets quality pieces she will love for a lifetime, then moves it from room to room as her family’s needs change. The settee in the sitting area of the boys’ suite was one she had in another room in their previous house. She gave it new life by recovered it in ticking fabric, which fits perfectly with the tartan plaids throughout the room. You wouldn’t think a piece this formal would be at home in a space occupied by two active boys, but it’s a perfect pick. Tammy loves furniture

your property professionally cleaned. This will make a huge visual impact. Forget the selling power of kitchens and bathrooms. Kitchens and bathrooms still sell homes, so if you are looking for ideal places to place your investment dollars, this is a strong choice. Forget to neutralize and depersonalize, from removing personal paint or carpet colors to personal design choices. A neutral palette is most attractive for selling.

Many times potential buyers will want to add their own personal touch as far as improvements. Forget the power of home staging. Home staging is one of the most powerful selling tools in which a property is staged or styled in order to be presented in its best possible light. Forget to have
into truly unique matching headboards. I really like how she dressed the beds in masculine and timeless bedding that the boys won’t outgrow. You may have noticed the hooked rugs throughout the boys’ room. Tammy’s mother-in-law, who is also a friend of mine, hand hooks rugs, a skill she taught Tammy. Not many moms would trust their young boys with treasures like these, but Tammy doesn’t worry. She does not want her home to feel like a museum. This gift of love just adds to the warmth and comfort of this decidedly delightful room.

When it comes time to prepare a home for sale, there are a number of quick and affordable fixes that can help seal the deal, while some so-called improvements may sink a sale. When it’s time to put your home on the market, there are some definite do’s and don’ts. DO: Give your home a fresh coat of paint. Freshly painted walls are one of the top selling features
for potential buyers. Make minor repairs. Many homeowners see even minor repairs as worry and work. Kennel pets during showings. Many potential buyers will not purchase a home occupied by a pet. Consider replacing a roof. Many potential buyers view this as a big ticket item. The fact that your home has a new roof will be a selling feature. Repaint your home’s exterior. Typically every five to 10 years is a great
and accents that tell a story, so she decorated the boys’ room with vintage toys. Airplanes hang from the ceiling, a game board serves as artwork and the shelves are dotted with antique sports equipment like boxing gloves and a bowling pin. I’m a huge fan of the textile mix she selected for the window treatments, furniture, pillows and bedding, menswear fabrics that coordinate but are not matchy. Even the twin beds have a history. When Tammy spotted an ornate screen at an antique store, she knew she had struck gold. Separated into two sections, the screens were transformed
