Unknown to a lot of people, February is a brilliant month to kickstart the Vegetable growing season. With Spring only just around the corner, it won’t be too long until temperatures creep up, therefore a lot of seeds can be sown inside or in a greenhouse, there are even some vegetables that you can sow directly into the ground outside, so long as you have protective polythene covers to protect the soil from the Winter frost. February is also a great month to get your vegetable patch prepped and soil nice and healthy so you’re ready for the main planting season next month.
