FEBRUARY

Now is the time to begin to prepare for warmer weather ahead.

 

This is the last month these Cool Weather Crop  SEEDS can still be DIRECTLY sown in the garden:

 

 

 

POTATOES
TOMATOES
PEPPERS
EGGPLANT

In the FIRST WEEK of February, you may start potaotes.

 

 

 

 

START TRANSPLANTS of these Warm Weather Crops INDOORS just after Valentine's Day  here in Crestview :

 

IMPORTANT garden tasks for FEBRUARY:

Add well composted manure into the soil.  (20 pounds for 1000 square feet= a bag for a 20 ft by 50 ft plot) and  turn the soil 3 to 4 weeks before planting to get ready for your warm weather garden! Fall-planted STRAWBERRIES need lots of water this month to produce well.
