Vegetable Seeds To Sow In February

Vegetable Seeds To Sow In February

February is a wonderful time to get your vegetable garden ready for a home-grown spring and summer harvest. From starting tomato seeds and broad bean seeds indoors to sowing hardy radish seeds outdoors, there are plenty of ways to begin growing your own food this month!

While the weather is still cool, many seeds can be started under cover in seed trays or on a sunny windowsill, giving them a head start for the growing season ahead. Hardy vegetables like broad beans can even be sown directly into the soil if conditions allow, making February a surprisingly productive month for gardeners.

What Vegetable Seeds Can You Sow in February?

February is a great time to start winter-sowing vegetable seeds that thrive in cooler temperatures. Hardier varieties such as peas, onions, and broad beans can be sown outdoors, giving them a head start before warmer days arrive. Otherwise, you can start seeds like kale or tomatoes indoors in February instead, and transplant them after the last frost – which is often in May.


If you don’t have the time or space to wait for seeds to germinate, we also stock a great range of established vegetable plants in February, ready for potting and growing on.

How to Sow Vegetable Seeds in February


To sow your February sowing vegetable seeds, start by preparing trays or small pots with well-drained compost. Lightly scatter the seeds over the surface, then cover them with a thin layer of compost or vermiculite. Keep the compost moist and place the trays in a cool, bright spot. Once the seeds have germinated and the weather improves, gradually acclimatise the seedlings before transplanting them outdoors. 

Bear in mind that how precisely you sow your seeds depends on the variety, so check the packet for specific instructions.
