Every gardener has his own list of plants and flowers that need to be planted in February.

Usually, at the end of winter, you need to have time to sow the seeds of plants that have a long growing season, and harvest before the first frost.

In order not to make a mistake with the choice, you need to know how long the plant seeds take to germinate. Therefore, some of them will have to be sown in February.

What to plant for seedlings in early February

In the first ten days of February – from the 1st to the 10th – they sow seeds of sweet and hot peppers and eggplants.

Eggplants take a long time to ripen, so the best solution would be to plant them in winter. About 2 months should pass before planting in open ground.

Eggplant seeds, like peppers, sprout slowly. In addition, weather conditions have a great influence on the timing of planting vegetables, berries and flowers.

When growing crops in open ground, it is necessary to take into account that frosts are possible in May, so in some cases it would be wise not to rush.

If there are heated greenhouses on the site, then in February you can plant early varieties for seedlings and get fresh vegetables at the beginning of summer.
