Laura Simpson writes the Master Gardener column.
My garden looks so boring in the winter months. All the flowers are gone and most of my trees have shed their leaves. Is there something I can do to make my winter landscape more attractive?
The best time to prune most trees is in the winter after they have shed all their leaves. Prune relatively early in the winter and enjoy their stark, leafless beauty. Trees with interesting bark textures can become focal points in the garden. Ornamental grasses can be trimmed any time of the year, but if left to grow full in the winter will provide interesting texture and shelter for wildlife. Choose carefully since many popular ornamental grasses are now on the invasive species list.Q. What types of winter squash are best for cooking?
Spaghetti squash can be cooked the same way, but instead of scooping the flesh out with a spoon, use a fork and rake the strands out into a bowl. I like serving this with a generous amount of butter, salt, pepper, and parmesan cheese.
