Our guide to starting seeds indoors.
Kids will enjoy planting seeds as a winter project. You can find more information about starting this activity with kids on our blog.
Topdress your vegetable garden bed with an organic soil conditioner to protect it from erosion, add nutrients and improve the soil structure.
February is an ideal time to prune fruit trees. Remove suckers, crossing and rubbing branches to open up the canopy which improves air circulation and allows more sun to penetrate into the tree. This in turn reduces disease pressure and increases fruit production.
