Despite the fact that February can be warm, it is too early to plant vegetables and greens in the garden, but you can take care of the seeds in advance. It is advisable to purchase those that have established themselves well on the site last year; the microclimate and soil are suitable for them.

However, this does not mean that new products should be discarded. After a couple of months, they can also be planted, but do not plant the whole plot with them. Otherwise, there is a chance of being without a crop if the crops do not take root.
It is also very important to adhere to the recommendations on favorable days and unfavorable for sowing work in relation to various crops that the Moon tells us.
What is and is not worth planting in February
Some gardeners begin sowing seedlings in February. This is not the best time, because daylight is still too short, air is dried by heating devices, the roots freeze. As a result, plants infect fungal infections and in most cases they die from this. Of course, if you live in the south and want to get the crop early, then you need to start planting.
However, there are crops suitable for the February sowing in other regions:
- Plants with prolonged vegetation (leek, celery). Their seeds hatch for a long time, and seedlings grow slowly. If you plant them later, the crops will not have time to give a good harvest.
- Early cabbage. It is recommended to sow in the second decade of February, as intensive growth occurs in March-April. Cabbage is planted on seedlings in February, and in the garden in April. Cabbage can be planted even earlier in the greenhouse without heating. But do not plant cabbage so early if you cannot create cool conditions for them, the seedlings will stretch and grow very weak.
- Eggplant and tomatoes. Seedlings are hardened (carried out in the air for 15-20 minutes, gradually increasing the time). It must be borne in mind that when growing this culture for seedlings at room conditions, it is necessary to provide a cool microclimate for it. When the first shoots appear, the temperature must be lowered to + 8 ... +10 ° C. For older specimens, the + 15 ... +17 ° C mode is suitable. At night, the temperature should be a couple of degrees lower.
- Onions also planted in seedlings in February, and in the garden in April, but after hardening. In cool weather, a root system forms in it, and nutrients accumulate. Moreover, during a dive in April, the culture will have time to gain strength until the summer of the onion fly, to grow the bulbs before the spread of downy mildew.
Many other crops can also be planted in February, if you create the necessary microclimate.
