BY JULIA RUBIN ASSOCIATED PRESS

Deep into this pandemic win- ter, it can be hard to remember what a refuge gardens were last spring and summer. In those frightening early days of COVID-19, victory gar- dens and household vegetable plots sprang up all over. Seed companies reported shortages. Hardware stores saw a run on garden tools. Millions found comfort, release and a sense of safety outdoors with their hands in the dirt. That feels like a long time ago. We dreaded this winter, and we weren’t wrong: January was the deadliest month yet from the virus. Political violence shook Americans’ sense of security and shared purpose. Business- es and household incomes are struggling. And the human interactions that might help us process all this anxiety and grief are discouraged. Yet the garden is still there, hunkering down too. And it can still help. Even in winter, it can provide solace, inspiration and perspective. Fresh air. And an assurance that spring is coming. “From December to March, there are for many of us three gardens — the garden outdoors, PHOTOS BY ASSOCIATED PRESS the garden of pots and bowls in Deep into this pandemic winter, it can be hard to remember what a refuge gardens were for many people last spring and summer.

| U.S. & WORLD BRIEFS | Is one day a week enough? Biden’s school goal draws blowback (AP) — President Joe Biden is being accused of backped- aling on his pledge to reopen the nation’s schools after the White House added fine print to his promise and made clear that a full reopening is still far from sight. Biden’s initial pledge in December was to reopen “the majority of our schools” in his first 100 days in office. In January he specified that the goal applied only to schools that teach through eighth grade.
