Of course if you&#8217;re a fair weather gardener then you can put most of it off until March, but if you&#8217;re itching to get going then have at it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My February kitchen garden diary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For me, this is another fairly quiet month for gardening, mainly because the ground\u2019s cold and not much is growing anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, I do need to get rid of one of our rosemary plants, which has died completely. The other one&#8217;s looking fine, so it isn&#8217;t too much of a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few more fallen leaves to sweep up, and some general tidying needs to be done. The rest of my time will be spent planning out the growing space, and deciding what to plant where.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the last week of February gives us mild weather, I&#8217;ll also start off some brassicas and mixed salad leaves to get a headstart on the growing season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to sow in February<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.pennygolightly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/seeds-to-sow-in-February-kitchen-garden-or-allotment.jpg\" alt=\"seeds to sow in February kitchen garden or allotment\" class=\"wp-image-85403 lazyload\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"816\" height=\"544\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pennygolightly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/seeds-to-sow-in-February-kitchen-garden-or-allotment.jpg\" alt=\"seeds to sow in February kitchen garden or allotment\" class=\"wp-image-85403 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pennygolightly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/seeds-to-sow-in-February-kitchen-garden-or-allotment.jpg 816w, https:\/\/www.pennygolightly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/seeds-to-sow-in-February-kitchen-garden-or-allotment-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pennygolightly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/seeds-to-sow-in-February-kitchen-garden-or-allotment-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 816px) 100vw, 816px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sow outdoors (under cover)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Outdoor sowings will need some extra protection from the cold, wind and rain.
