February Seed Sowing

February marks the turning point towards spring, and it’s a great month to start sowing seeds for the season ahead. With days slowly lengthening and light levels improving, many vegetables, herbs and flowers can now be started indoors or under cover. Ideal seeds to sow in February in the UK include tomatoes, chillies, sweet peppers, aubergines, leeks, onions, and early brassicas such as cauliflower and cabbage. You can also sow broad beans, peas and lettuce in a greenhouse, cold frame or on a sunny windowsill. For a burst of colour, start sweet peas and hardy annuals indoors ready for transplanting in spring. Using a heated propagator or grow lights will help early seedlings thrive during colder nights. Early sowing in February gives your crops a valuable head start, ensuring strong, healthy plants ready to move outdoors once the risk of frost has passed. With Seed Envy’s premium seed range, you can make the most of this early window and enjoy a flourishing garden all year long.
