February planting calendar

We have already started the second month of winter, February is a month in which we can start sowing and germination of many seeds of spring and summer crops. The only thing we have to take into account for a correct germination is that this has to be done in protected or heated seedbeds, for this we can do them in greenhouses or in seedbeds with hot bed.

Sun exposure increases and our crops accelerate, and many of us will be harvesting them. It is time to plan well what we are going to plant in our garden and make room for the plants that are coming.

In some places we can already begin to put some typical summer crops such as tomatoes, peppers, zucchini on the ground, but always protected from the cold by a makeshift greenhouse.
