Sow brassicas like kale and cauliflower indoors now for productive, tasty crops – 6 types to start in February

Cabbage growing in garden.

Brassicas are roast dinner essentials – Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and kale, to name a few. For enhanced flavour, you can grow your own – and there are plenty of brassicas you can sow indoors in February to get a head start.

There’s no shortage of fruit, vegetables and flowers you can sow in February, but if you’re growing them from seed, you’ll need to start most of them off indoors at this time of the year. Of course, if indoor growing space is limited, there are a fair few vegetables you can plant under cloches outside this month – but many brassicas benefit from indoor sowing while it’s still cold outside.
