Poinsettias are really interesting if you care to invest the time once the season has passed. Of course, they can be kept and forced into bloom the following holiday. But, one spring I took a healthy poinsettia and planted in the front garden. By fall this plant had really grown and had developed woody stems with fantastic foliage. It did not bloom outside but it was fun seeing this holiday plant thrive through the summer!

Too too much trouble. I prefer to keep the poinsettia industry in business! -- Susan

About Susan Reimer

Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
