With a minimum of tending and a small initial investment, you can have a glorious garden that will flower forever, increasing the value of your home and more importantly, bringing you joy each year. Beginners, advises Mary T. Dillon in the June Readers Digest, should start small: Lay out a rough plan that includes plants of various heights and colors and a succession of blooms so that you can have color from early spring to late fall. She recommends purchasing plants because the seeds for perennials take a long time to grow to blooming size.

Figure the after-ta- x cost as the true cost of borrowing money, advises Larry K. Bond, ex- - tension economist, Utah State University. Using the example of an income of Bond pointed out that the aftertax cost of borrowing $8,000 at 12.5 percent for one year would actually be 9.875 percent or $790 instead of $1,000. The reason is you can save $210 in taxes by claiming interest as a deduction on your federal income tax. The effect on state taxes added to that would further increase the tax savings. $16,000, Bond said the secret to the tax savings is your marginal tax rate (MTR). Thats the rate at which the last dollar you earn is taxed. The federal income tax schedule indicates that on an adjusted gross income (Form 1040, line 31) of $16,000 you would pay 21 percent (your MTR) on the amount over $11,900.
