So, the crops whose seeds must be planted in the ground in the first ten days of February primarily include sweet and hot peppers.

In addition, take the time to get some eggplant seedlings.

Pepper seeds, like eggplant seeds, as has been proven more than once by experienced gardeners, take quite a long time to germinate.

The weather conditions outside can also influence this process.

If you are going to grow these crops in open ground, you should take into account the destructive power of recurrent frosts. Those who have greenhouses with constant heating can plant early varieties to get fresh and juicy vegetables at the beginning of summer.
