For most regions, winter is not quite over, but <strong>spring hasn&#8217;t arrived yet<\/strong> either. Transition periods are key times for planning your garden and <a href=\"http:\/\/botanicalinterests.com\/community\/blog\/start-seeds-indoors\/\">starting seeds indoors<\/a> to be ready for transplant when spring really arrives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What vegetables you plant in February will depend on your last frost date. Make sure you know this date before you choose seeds to ensure you&#8217;re sowing at the right time. Also follow the instructions on your seed packets closely\u2014some seeds benefit from indoor sowing, while others (like root crops) should be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicalinterests.com\/community\/blog\/start-seeds-outdoors\/\">direct sown outdoors<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With your frost date in mind, you can go through this list and pick a few<strong> vegetables to plant in February. <\/strong>Gardeners in zones 7 and up can plant almost anything, but those in cooler areas need to be a little more selective, opting for hardy, cool-weather crops that can handle some temperature dips. Investing in a few seed-starting gadgets and <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.epicgardening.com\/products\/critter-cover-frost-blanket?variant=42995259539652\">protective covers<\/a> can also help create the

great time to plant onions. These crops take a long time to mature (up to 100 days), so sowing indoors now gives them enough time to develop fully. The bigger the variety, the more valuable an early start will be for maximum bulb size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Onions <strong>have different categories <\/strong>based on how many light hours they need to form bulbs. Those in cooler zones should plant long-day onions in February, like &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicalinterests.com\/products\/walla-walla-bulb-onion-seeds\">Walla Walla&#8217;<\/a> or &#8216;Yellow Sweet Spanish Utah&#8217;. In zone 7 and up, choose short-day onions like &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicalinterests.com\/products\/texas-early-grano-bulb-onion-seeds\">Texas Early Grano&#8217;<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gardeners in warmer climates can also sow bunching onions like &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicalinterests.com\/products\/tokyo-long-white-bunching-scallion-onion-seeds\">Tokyo Long White&#8217;<\/a>.

Don&#8217;t miss this planting window or heat will impact your harvests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you get your timing right, your cabbage should be ready to <strong>harvest in April. <\/strong>Your harvesting window should be well before any significant temperature increases.

But considering their delicious flavor and versatility, they are well worth the wait.

Luckily, February is a great time to get started if you want crisp stalks by late spring. Their ideal indoor sowing time is 10 to 12 weeks before last frost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In cooler zones, indoor starting is vital. <strong>Germination can be slow and finicky,<\/strong> and seedlings require controlled conditions (particularly when it comes to temperature) for strong early growth. Outdoor sowing is only recommended for mild climates much later than Feb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure nighttime temperatures are above 55\u00b0F before transplanting outdoors.

If you live in a colder region, February sowing indoors gives your plants a head start. In warmer zones, you may be able to direct sow if the soil temperature is warm enough (above 60\u00b0F). Keep an eye on the weather to avoid unexpected cold snaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aim to sow seeds about 4 to 6 weeks before the expected last frost date if you&#8217;re growing indoors.
