February Gardening Calendar
The gardening season has
begun! I checked over my spreadsheet to plan out the month of
February, and thought those of you in a similar zone might get
something out of a rundown of the tasks:
- February 2 --- plant lettuce and spinach in a cold frame.
- February 14 ---
- plant snow peas in
the sunniest spot in the garden. Shelling peas never seem to
survive
this early for me, and even the snow peas are a gamble (so don't plant
all your seeds), but if they
survive you'll have bragging rights at the feed store!
- indoors or in a cold frame, start cabbage and broccoli.
- Before
the end of the month --- cut logs to innoculate
with shitake spawn. (But don't innoculate yet!)
Doesn't sound like much,
I know, but it's exciting to be able to start growing again! Keep
in mind that this is for zone 6 --- your dates will vary slightly.
Or explore more posts by date or by subject.
