It’s February, but I like to call it the season of the cloche. That’s because there are so many vegetables you can plant under cloches in February for a head start on the growing season.

An earlier start means stronger plants and an advance on this year’s harvests – and the list of crops you can plant in February gets a whole lot longer when you know how to use a cloche. Vegetables that aren’t quite hardy enough to face late winter frosts, or could just benefit from the extra warmth, are ideal candidates.
