February Gardening Tips
By admin | January 30, 2008
February may well be the toughest gardening month. Thank goodness it’s short. Spring may be just around the corner but I always worry about the last cold snap. I feel that February can often be the coldest month. Here are some vegetable tips for outdoor gardens in February.
Make sure that the soil is clear of weeds by constantly hoeing when the weather allows you out of doors. Clear old beds such as Brussels sprouts and Cabbages. Decide how you are going to grow your Peas or Beans and if it is to be sticks seek a suitable source of supply. Protect unharvested Broccoli by bending the leaves over the flower. Leeks should be dug up and stored by planting close together in a cool spot. Onions will need the ground to be well trenched or rotovated for the main crop. Peas should be earthed up. Keep an eye on the Potatoes in the boxes and discard any that do not appear to be up to standard.
