As the chill of winter begins to ease, February is the perfect time to start preparing for the growing season ahead. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or a first-time grower, this month offers exciting opportunities to sow new seeds and nurture hardy crops that will ensure your garden is ready to flourish as spring approaches.
We’ve chatted a gardening expert who has shared his recommendations on what plants to sow and grow this February, plus some handy care tips which will help them thrive…. Cauliflower. The end of winter is the perfect time to get some early varieties of vegetables in the soil, and hardy vegetables such as cauliflower particularly thrive this time of year.
“Cauliflowers thrive in modules or in a seed bed, and should ready to be transplanted after six weeks.”. And mulching is the key to success. “You’ll want to keep the cauliflowers mulched, to retain water, and if the sun starts getting strong before they’re ready to harvest, you may want to shade them with some larger leaves,” suggests White.
Pak choi. Growing your own pak choi will bring some lovely sweet flavours and textures to your spring dishes. “Plant in your greenhouse in February, transplant in March and get ready to harvest as soon as April,” instructs White. “However, some baby choi varieties are ready to harvest just 50 days after sowing.”.
