February
- Have you got your plot plan decided yet? It’s about time you did!
- If your grass in the garden has started to grow it is a sign that the soil has warmed up a bit and you could consider starting planting (maybe around the middle to the end of the month).
- When the weather gets a little more clement, and the soil a bit warmer, you could consider sowing the following outdoors;
- Jerusalem artichokes
- broad beans
- chervil
- parsnips
- Black polythene spread over areas of your soil will warm it up and give you a head start on planting.
- You might think about chitting your first early potatoes.
- Horticultural fleece could be useful to cover your fruit bushes and strawberry plants.
If you had been working your allotment last year, you could be eating your own, home grown;
Broccoli 
leeks
Sweds
Spinach
Parsnips
Brussels Sprouts
Plus, of course, anything you have stored (like potatoes carrots, Butternut quash and onions).
Tips
-
Collect loo roll middles; good for sowing your runner beans in and then planting out directly when the time is right.
-
Save up old newspapers – useful for putting underneath your runner beans or for making into biodegradable pots to sow seeds in (such as tomatoes, courgettes, peppers etc.)
