What to Plant in February and Which Seeds to Start Now?
Hey, Plant Heroes 🌿 🗓️ February is here, and your garden is calling. But the soil is still cold, frost can strike at any moment, and waiting too long steals precious time from your seedlings. If you know what to plant in February, you can be well-prepared, so that your plants are ready to grow and thrive in spring! What to start planting in FebruaryThis month is perfect for preparing your crops for the upcoming spring and summer. In milder zones, hardy cool-season crops can go straight into the soil. In cooler zones, focus on indoor seed-starting. Early planting helps your seedlings grow strong roots, sturdy stems, and resilience to frost or pests later. Why plant now: 🌿 Give slow-growing veggies and herbs time to mature; 🌿 Hardy crops will appreciate mild outdoor soil; 🌿 Early seedlings grow strong and resilient; Why it matters: Your seedlings have time to establish their roots, so they are ready to thrive outdoors and won’t struggle with late-season stress. 🌱 What seeds to start in February Pick seeds that need extra time indoors: tender vegetables, long-season herbs, or non-hardy crops. Start them in trays, pots, or a propagator with artificial light and warmth. Keep the soil lightly moist and gradually harden your seedlings before moving them outside. About other tasks Planting seeds is the fun part, but don’t forget your February chores: 🌿 Shape winter shrubs, perennials, and climbers; 🌿 Remove debris, dead leaves, and deadhead flowers; 🌿 Improve soil drainage, refresh compost; 🌿 Adjust watering to prevent waterlogging.
