For those keen on starting their vegetable seeds as soon as possible, here's my list for February.

Cross-referenced against the four years of magazines and books I hoarded. One or two ambitious choices worth trying imo.

It's a tiny thing but not buying anything on Amazon over the last few weeks feels like a massive deal

I definitely got addicted to convenience

Here are some of the edibles (plus one non-edible flower) that you can sow now.

It is winter, the days are short & cold, and everything on this list can be sown in January or February.

There's no rush! But if you fancy sowing something, here are some suggestions.

Still no snow, just a deep freeze

We skirted a frost last night but it's forecast to snow today and frost tonight

These purple French beans (Brunhilde/Brauhilde) and some super keen spring raspberries will probably be the last harvest

The hardest thing about the RHS level 2 as a veg gardener is the existence of flowers & learning Latin names

My hack is to go to garden centres trying to spot them & buying the ones you get wrong in class

Expensive but should have a nice ornamental garden next year

Yesterday we planted some apple trees at a school

I hit myself on the head with a rake moment later so this is the best photo
