This winter I am researching a project for spring — raised beds.
The pandemic disrupted our traditions, practices and pursuits. It altered how we mark milestones, what we do with our time, what’s important in routines. It replaced old with new, a kind of new that just might stick. People dusted off musical instruments and are still playing. They gained a new appreciation for the outdoors. They gathered at a distance with neighbors and remain dedicated to those relationships. Gardening found new enthusiasts. Pandemic exercise routines are in full swing. And many women ditched the hair dye, letting their gray fly forever.
In much of the country, much of the landscape goes barren over the winter. Evergreens are typically the workhorse plants that carry us through. But not all evergreens are created equal. A subset called conifers provides not just year-round greenery but ornamental cones. The cones command attention, feed birds and can be used for crafts. Conifer trees present fine-textured foliage ranging from rich green to blue green to gold. And their cones are just as varied. Some popular choices include the eastern white pine, Korean pine, Himalayan pine, Korean fir, Oriental spruce and Eastern red cedar.
