February

What to do this Month – February

Vegetables

1. Chit early seed potato tubers as soon as you have them.
2. From mid-February onwards sow tomato, chilli,  cucumber and aubergine seed for greenhouse growing.
3. ​Prepare outdoor seedbeds ready for sowing.
4. Peas can be sown in the greenhouse in old (but clean) guttering that has had drainage holes drilled in the bottom.

Fruit

1. Plant new fruit trees, bushes, canes and vines if the soil isn’t waterlogged or frozen. If you’ve ordered bare root fruit trees, they should be delivered this month if not already.
2. This is your last chance to winter prune apples, pears, medlars and quinces.
3. Prune back newly planted raspberries to 30cm (12in).
4. This is your last chance to winter prune red currants, white currants and gooseberries.
