February often feels like a wake-up call to us gardeners who have been patiently waiting to get back out in the yard and start working. One of the most important jobs this month is getting a head start on many types of seeds, to ensure they develop strong roots before spring. But, not all seeds should be started this month. In fact, gardening experts actually say that starting seeds too early is the biggest seed starting mistake you can make in February.
Even if temperatures are freezing and don't allow for outdoor sowing, there are plenty of seeds to sow indoors this month, most notably those that are slow starters and have a longer maturity time. But, don't be too hasty to get all your seeds in soil as the experts say it's a seed sowing mistake to not wait until the temperature warms up for many fast-growing flowers and vegetables.
