With magnolias beginning to open and the first signs of tulip foliage emerging, the garden hints at spring's arrival. Rhododendrons and camellias add splashes of colour, signalling the start of the bulb season with hyacinths and narcissus blooming, and the cheerful sight of wild primroses among the daffodils.
Now is the moment for preparing new beds and firming in new plants, ensuring they're well-established before the growing season begins.
It's time to get hands-on in the greenhouse in February by pricking out and planting various seeds. This is also the month to plant onions outdoors and start potatoes in pots, taking advantage of the slowly improving weather.
February is also crucial for sowing flowers, seeds, and herbs, using vermiculite to cover seeds and retain moisture, setting the stage for a vibrant and diverse garden as the year progresses.
