Basics of Gardening• What: Loveland Youth Gar-deners Green Adventures• When: March 13, Magnificent,Marvelous Seed!April 10, On Your Mark, GetSeeds, Grow!May 10, Planting Day!• Cost: $15 per class• Information: lovelandyouthgardeners.org/youth-programs.html

Children’s classes unlock the secrets of the gardenIn the long stretch between Jan-

uary and May, interesting your kidsin gardening is a superhuman task.After all, the ground is frozen, theyard is buried under a crust ofsnow and the only bugs you hap-pen upon are the dead ones on thewindowsill.

But spring is the time to discoverwhat the garden has in store forsummer, and with a little help fromthe Loveland Youth Gardeners,your youngsters will learn to un-lock the secrets of seeds andseedlings. Offering three classes toramp up the season, the nonprofitholds the garden gate open so chil-dren 7 to 12 years old can grow.

“This is education disguised asfun,” says Program Director SusanOberle. “In March’s Magnificent,Marvelous Seed! class we give themgee-whiz information, like whathappens to popcorn when you popit, or all of the foods we eat that areseeds.” Besides exploring whatpopcorn does when you nuke it,students will cook pinecones towatch how heat opens the cones sopine seeds can disperse.

In the forest, wildfire takes care

of heating the cones, but Lovelandhas rules about setting trees ablaze,so the oven will be used instead.“We ’ll put the lodgepole pineconeson a cookie sheet and bake them;it’s a little more civilized than toss-ing them into a fire.”

Taught by Bill Wride, kinder-garten teacher with B.F. Kitchen El-ementary School, the three garden-focused classes give children achance to learn the basics of de-signing and planting a garden andhow plants work from the groundup.

“It’s all about reconnecting thekids to the earth,” he says. “Eventhough their heads are only 4 feetaway from it, many aren’t connect-ed to it.” With 20 years of experi-ence teaching students aged 6 to60, Wride includes plenty of activi-ties that involve getting up andmoving around. “They need tolearn to take care of themselves aswell as the earth.”

For April’s class, On Your Mark,Get Seeds, Grow!, the small green-house Loveland Youth Gardenershas on site will be the setting fordiscovering the difference between

warm season and cool seasoncrops. Planting those that will growin April, such as lettuce and car-rots, children get to choose thetypes of vegetables the nonprofitwill grow during summer.

“They’ll plant flats of seeds forlater, like tomatoes and peppers,and I’ll see if I can convince themto include eggplant, but they mightnot go for that,” Oberle says. Pop-ping the seedlings into the groundis May’s class, the last one beforethe 10-week Youth Gardening Sum-mer Camp takes over tending thepatch.

All activities are hands-on, in-cluding learning the elements ofdesign; participants get to map outa plan for their own yards at home.In planning the garden, Green Ad-venturers are introduced to makingchoices for their diet, as well astheir planet. All classes include asection on cooking, and eating,food that is good for you.

Oberle says, “We do a decentamount of cooking with produce.They learn that this food is really,really tasty – you don’t have to relyon McDonald’s for a good meal.”

Throughout the summer, excess pro-duce is donated to the Food BankFor Larimer County and local out-reach programs – giving to the com-munity is a strong part of the threegoals (skill, service and stewardship)the program emphasizes.

Kitchen getsa groovykind of look

Seven years ago, Terry found the house of hisdreams – a ranch-style bungalow that hadn’tchanged much since it was built in the 1960s. Heparticularly loved the kitchen, a swinging-’60s gemcomplete with copper-colored appliances and amelamine table. Unfortunately, wife Tracey wasn’tas keen on the place; she was hoping for somethinga bit more contemporary. But because Terry lovedit, she made him a deal: They would buy the placeand live with the kitchen for five years, at whichtime they would undertake a complete kitchen ren-ovation.

Well, the five-year mark came and went, and thero o m ’s awkward layout, tiny oven and antiquatedfridge finally took their toll on Tracey. So, I calledin my team and got set to bring this super-groovykitchen into the current decade.

The cramped kitchen didn’t leave much room forentertaining, and it was closed off from the adjoin-ing living and dining rooms. So, I kicked things offby knocking down a few walls and opening up thewhole space. I also added windows and new glassdoors so the backyard would be in full view.

I then got started on my quest: to pay homage tothe home’s mid-century design, while turning thespace into a modern kitchen. I ripped out the oldappliances, tore out the cabinets, replaced theflooring with charcoal porcelain tile and put up afresh coat of paint. Then, I sectioned the largespace into two rooms – a kitchen and a diningroom that flow seamlessly into one another andblend into the adjacent living room.

In the kitchen, I created a long continuous flowof white quartz counters, zebra-wood cabinetry andwindows along the back wall. Because I wanted tomaximize the outdoor view, I put in few upper cab-inets, and put most of the new appliances belowthe counters, including the new double ovens, adishwasher and a microwave. I also hid afridge/freezer behind some panels that blend inwith the rest of the cabinetry.

The focal point of this room is a large kitchen is-land. Part of the island functions as a food-prep andcooking area, and contains a black marble surfacewith a sleek cooktop. I designed the other half ofthe island for eating and entertaining by installing a

higher white quartz perimeter countertop andputting funky bar stools around it.

In the dining-room area, I put in a bar that con-tains a marble counter and more dark wood cabi-netry, and decked it out with a state-of-the-art winefridge and coffeemaker.

I kept Tracey and Terry’s existing dining-roomtable, but added new dining-room chairs in acreamy fabric. I also installed a gorgeous elevatedfireplace that can be enjoyed from anywhere in thero o m .

Additionally, I put up five retro pendants overthe island and installed a “funkadelic’’ fixture abovethe dining-room table.

This dysfunctional ’60s kitchen was way past its“best before’’ date. So I blended modern conve-nience with retro charm and created the perfectrecipe for a beautiful kitchen – and a beautifulcompromise for Tracey and Terry. Now that’s di-vine.

In February the sun starts toclimb in the sky and almost every-one begins to notice the longerdays. It may seem a bit early, butFebruary is the time of year I startthinking about my vegetable gar-den.

Early in the month I completemy seed orders, and toward theend of the month I begin drawinga plan for the garden on paper.

Mapping out the garden aheadof time helps me optimize my useof space and plan successive plantings. Space allocated toearly-season cool-weather crops will be used for warmth-loving plants later on. It also gives me the opportunity torotate placement of plants from the previous year, toavoid harmful plant-specific pathogens from building upin the soil.

Like many gardeners I get a jump on the planting sea-son by starting seeds early. Sowing seeds indoors is inex-pensive and easy, and it provides an opportunity to grow avariety of vegetables, especially those that require a longgrowing season.

Seed catalogs are an excellent reference source. In addi-tion to the information usually found on the seed packetsthemselves, catalogs often provide information on specificgermination requirements, bloom time, cultural require-ments and number of days to maturity.

This information can be helpful when deciding whichseeds to start indoors, and when. The correct timing ofseed sowing is critical to success. During the cold wintermonths the desire to start gardening has led many a gar-dener to sow seeds too early.

To get started you will need a few supplies, includingclean containers with excellent drainage; sterile, freelydraining potting medium; fluorescent lights with properspectrum bulbs (grow lights), and a location with correcttemperature and adequate ventilation.

Begin by purchasing sterile potting medium. This is im-portant to prevent fungal diseases that can cause young

seedlings to die shortly after germination.Choose any container that is at least 2 inches deep.

Your local garden center or DIY store will have severaloptions, as well as seed starting kits. Recycled plastic potsfrom the previous garden season will work, too, providedthey are clean and disinfected.

Fill containers with pre-moistened starting mix towithin one-quarter-inch from the top of the container.Use just enough water to dampen mix. It should not besoggy. Tamp down containers to make soil level and toremove large air spaces. Follow directions on seed packetfor depth of planting. Usually, small seeds are sown ontop of the soil then misted with a fine spray of water,while larger seeds may need to be covered with a finelayer of soil.

Place the containers in bright light and keep the soilevenly moist. Placing the container inside an unsealedclear plastic bag will help keep humidity levels high andprevent the soil from drying out.

Once the seeds germinate, remove the plastic bag andmove them under the fluorescent lights for 16 to 18 hoursa day. Keep the lights about 6 to 8 inches above theplants. Lights kept farther away will result in leggyseedlings.

Grow your seedlings in temperatures close to 70 de-grees during the day and, if possible, close to 60 at night.This will help keep the plants compact and encouragestrong growth.

Begin feeding your seedlings with a well balanced wa-ter-soluble fertilizer at about one-quarter the strength rec-ommended and apply about every third or fourth timeyou water.

As the seedlings grow, raise the lights to maintain the6- to 8-inch distance. Once the seedlings have at leasttwo sets of leaves transplant them into individual pots orcell packs.

Dear Helaine and Joe: What can you tell meabout my duck sitting in the water? Most of thesetypes of glass dishes are chickens, I think. It is 7inches long, 5.25 inches wide and 5.5 inches high.In the base are water creatures and cattails. I amsure it is more than 100 years old because it wasgiven to me about 75 years ago. What is the value?Sincerely, L.P.L., Hill, N.H.

Dear L.P.L.: Thank you for such good information inyour letter. So many people leave out vital details suchas the size of the piece in question, and we are glad toget a letter with such a thorough and detailed descrip-tion.

Our Victorian ancestors were interested in noveltyitems. They enjoyed accessorizing their homes withsuch things as glass and porcelain shoes; trays shapedlike fish; plates decorated with images of dogs, cats,rabbits, chicks, the three bears, owls and such; andmatch holders shaped like baskets, children on abench or a fleur-de-lis – among many other things.

The covered dish (usually a candy dish) shaped likea hen sitting on a nest is something that is commonlyseen. They have been made in vast numbers from thelate Victorian era to the present.

We feel confident that L.P.L.’s example is from theearly 20th century rather than the 19th century. Webelieve that a circa-1910 date is probably about right,but we do not know who the manufacturer might havebeen since so many small glass companies made simi-lar items.

The charming piece in today’s question is pressedglass with a frog and a fish embossed into the bottom,and what looks like a crayfish of some sort. It is frost-ed glass, which means that initially the piece was madefrom clear colorless glass that was subsequently treat-ed with hydrofluoric acid to give it that translucent,frosted look.

Most of the covered glass dishes discussed here arenot terribly expensive, and this one should be valuedfor insurance purposes in the $75 to $100 range.

Federal estate taxes continue Make your wood floors shineArticle Resource

A ss o c i at i o n

Wood floors are abeloved part of ahome, and are also agreat investment thatcan boost yourhome’s value by up to$10,000, according tothe Hardwood Infor-mation Center.

The wood care ex-perts who make Mur-phy Oil Soap have ad-vice on how to keepyour floors lookingshiny and beautiful.

• The first key to main-taining your wood floors isto know what type of finishyou have.

Most wood floors in-stalled after the 1960s arefinished with polyurethane,which hardens into layersof solid plastic sheets onthe surface of the wood.

To find out, scratch thesurface of the wood with acoin in an inconspicuousarea. If the finish flakes off,a finish like varnish or shel-lac was probably used. Ifyou think you have waxfloors, apply a few drops ofwater and wait 10 minutes.If white spots appear underthe droplets, then yourfloor has a wax finish. Apolyurethane finish will notflake after being scratchedwith a coin, and white spotswill not appear after expo-sure to water droplets.

• A finish with a dull andlifeless appearance can usu-ally be revived with a goodcleaning to remove accu-mulated dirt. Forp o l y u re t h a n e - f i n i s h e dfloors, use a cleaner such asMurphy Oil Soap for clean-ing. To give your floors thebest shine, make sure youfollow diluting directionsproperly when using theconcentrated version ofMurphy Oil Soap.

• Other ways to help pre-serve your wood floor shineinclude regularly sweepingand vacuuming your floorsweekly; placing area rugs inhigh traffic locations; usingfloor protector pads or softfelt on the bottoms of furni-ture legs; setting a humidi-fier or dehumidifier tomaintain a level of 30 to 50percent humidity in thehome; and protecting yourfloors from direct sunlight.

No one ever thought it wouldget this far. Years ago, when thenPresident George Bush proposedincreasing the estate tax exclusionin stages, and eliminating the es-tate tax entirely in 2010, no one ev-er thought we’d get here withouthaving some sort of permanent fixin place.

Congress phased the stages overa decade to providetime to address the is-sues of lost revenuefrom the estate taxes.Members of both par-ties thought somethingwould be done beforethe 10 years were up.

Yet here we are, inthe second month of2010, with another bigestate tax deadlinelooming: On Jan. 1,2011, the estate tax re-verts to where it was in 2001.

Instead of figuring out how totreat the estates of those who die,Congress has been sidetrackedwith other issues, including theeconomic crisis, record unemploy-ment and health care reform.

Through the end of 2009, taxlaw provided each individual witha $3.5 million exemption from fed-eral estate tax and the generation-skipping transfer tax. Individualswere also entitled to a $1 millionexemption from the federal gift tax.

Estate assets were also given afull step-up in the basis, meaningthat if a person died owning a pieceof property they had purchased for$10,000 and it was now worth$1,000,000, the property’s valuefor computing a tax would be thatvalue at or around the time of

death.The estates of those who die in

2010, however, will pass down toheirs free of estate tax and genera-tion-skipping transfer tax. But theproperty in that estate will nolonger have that stepped up basis,but rather the basis that it hadwhen it was purchased. When theysell that property, they may owe

capital gains tax on thedifference in price be-tween the cost basisand the sales price.

H e re ’s how it used towork: Until the end of2009, if you passeddown property, yourheirs would receive theproperty at its“stepped-up” basis,meaning that the prop-erty would be given thevalue on the date of

death rather than the date of pur-chase.

Because the stepped-up basis hasbeen eliminated as of Jan. 1, 2010,heirs will have to prove the basisfor each asset. That could be toughfor those inheriting, say, theirgrandmother’s house purchased in1945 that received several majoradditions and capital improve-ments throughout the years.

The cost basis of property is theprice paid for it plus the cost ofmajor capital improvements. Willheirs in the example above be ableto prove how much their grand-mother paid to redo her kitchen inthe 1960s and 1990s?

If that $10,000 property had$990,000 worth of improvements,the heirs wouldn’t pay any taxsince the property’s value and the

cost of the property plus improve-ments made to it throughout theyears were the same. But withoutthose receipts the heirs might notbe able to prove that the improve-ments were made, and thus theywould have to pay tax on the dif-ference between the original pur-chase price and the sales price. So,the major lesson here is to keepre c e i p t s .

While the full basis step-up hasbeen eliminated, there remains a35 percent tax on gifts above $1million. If Congress doesn’t act, theestate tax and generation-skippingtransfer taxes will return on Jan. 1,2011, but with only a $1 millionexemption and a top tax rate of 55percent for estate and gift taxes.

What does that mean to mostAmericans? Perhaps not much. Butfor those who die and leave an es-tate exceeding $1 million (includ-ing life insurance), it means theheirs will have to cope with an es-tate tax nightmare.

Any new law could be written totake effect retroactively. But whathappens to the estates of those whodie after Jan. 1, 2010, but beforenew estate tax law is enacted?Those estates that move quickly toparcel out assets and file a final es-tate tax return may be required bythe IRS to refile and play by newrules.

Housing of the future A fun bathroom for kids

By Marcie Geffner

b a n k r at e . c o m

Will your house hold its value as afinancial investment and a goodplace for you to live during the nextdecade? What’s ahead for the hous-ing market?

To answer those questions, home-owners and homebuyers shouldwatch four trends:

• Echo boomers’ entry into theirpeak homebuying years.

• Baby boomers’ entry into theirpeak home-selling years.

• The new demand for smallerhomes.

• The new demand for more ener-gy-efficient homes.

The demand for housing has di-minished as unemployment andother financial pressures have forcedcollege graduates to stay with theirparents and whole families to movein with relatives. But longer term,that demand is expected to be “ex-tremely sound,” says Steve Melman,director of economic services at theNational Association of HomeBuilders in Washington.

Melman expects a resurgence tooccur as economic conditions im-prove and the children of the babyboomers, called the echo boomers,enter their peak homebuying years.

Demand for housing already hasreturned to some extent and may in-crease in 2010. The National Associ-ation of Realtors recently reportedthat pending home sales rose fornine consecutive months throughOctober 2009. NAR ChiefEconomist Lawrence Yun said in astatement that existing home salesshould number 5.5 to 6 million an-nually based on population growth,but that sales were “well below the 5million mark” before the federalhomebuyer tax credit was offered.

Yet even an increase in demandmay not be enough to match the

number of sellers, warns Dowell My-ers, a professor of urban planningand demography at the University ofSouthern California School of Policy,Planning and Development in LosAngeles.

“Before, there was an unlimitedsupply of buyers because of the ba-by-boom generation,” he says. “Butnow that unlimited supply of buyersis going to turn into an unlimitedsupply of sellers.”

Myers says sellers will eventuallyoutnumber buyers, unless a greatereffort is made to “cultivate” them.

“There is a shortage of young peo-ple all over the country relative tothe number of seniors in the future,so they’ll all need to step up to meetthe supply of homes for sale,” Myerssays.

The implications for currenthomeowners could be dire if Myers’read is correct as a supply-and-de-mand imbalance of such magnitudecould cause home prices to decline.The solution? Myers recommends agreater investment in education somore young people will be able toafford to own a home in the future.

As the population ages, again dueto the baby boomers, smaller homesmay be in greater demand. As Mel-man points out, empty-nesters needone spare bedroom for visitinggrandchildren, not four bedroomsfor growing teenagers. Smallerhomes are also cheaper and easier tomaintain and should be less costlyto heat and cool.

An NAHB report, Home of the Fu-ture, states that the size of new sin-gle-family homes reached a 35-yearrecord of more than 2,400 squarefeet in 2006. But that growth spurtisn’t expected to continue into thisdecade. Instead, the average size of anew home will range from about2,300 to 2,500 square feet in 2015.

Myers says new houses will bemore compact, more efficiently de-

signed in their use of space and rich-er in amenities inside the home andnearby in the neighborhood. Thesetrends are seen as another likely re-sult of an aging population and thepush toward more efficient land use.

“The new house will be an effi-cient house that’s easy to live in forone or two people only and may belocated in more dense configuration,so people can walk to nearby ameni-ties,” he says.

New homes also will be more en-ergy-efficient in terms of windows,doors, insulation and even site plan-ning due to concerns about climatechange and the need to reduce ener-gy consumption and emissions.

Homebuyers are generally willingto pay about 2 percent to 2.5 percentof the purchase price of the homefor greater energy efficiency, Melmansays. After that, the willingness topay more for green-built featureswanes.

That desire for energy efficiencydoesn’t necessarily mean currenthomeowners should invest heavilyin such upgrades in 2010. Instead,Myers suggests, homeowners shouldstudy up on new technologies andbe ready to adopt them when thetime – and the price – seems right.

“I don’t think there is a big rush,because the technology keeps evolv-ing,” he says.

Buyers also might start to thinkmore about utility and transporta-tion costs when they purchase ahome, Melman suggests.

“If you look at prices and interestrates, affordability has never beenbetter for a long time. But people arealso looking at the operating costsand energy efficiency of a home. Youwant to make sure you can affordthe mortgage payment, but you alsodon’t want to have $1,000-a-monthutility bills,” he says.

Kids are all about fun, so why not have a little fun intheir bathrooms, too? In lieu of countertops that play itsafe, opt for something that shows a little more ingenuity.Whatever you choose should be easy to maintain and, ofcourse, have no safety issues.

Add a Splash of Color

Use a trendy color such as orange on a laminate top.Not only will it add some pizzazz, but because it’s relative-ly inexpensive it can be replaced when you grow tired ofit. Quartz is also good because it is indestructible andcomes in vibrant kid colors.

Select a Complementary Sink

Use an integral sink that is custom-crafted seamlesslyinto the countertop itself and can easily be cleaned. Onthe other hand, there are ways to all but go off the chartsin terms of fun. There is one sink on the market that actu-ally holds live goldfish.

Let Kids Get Creative

Have your wee ones paint and fire their own ceramictiles, then incorporate them into the countertop, the back-splash or even wainscoting or a shower wall.

Create Separate Spaces

For two children, create separate grooming spaces withtwo distinct countertops, sinks and storage areas; perhapsput them on opposing corners of the room. This approachpresents the opportunity to do something slightly differ-ent for each child.

Take a tip from your kids and make fun a top priority.
