To start a vegetable garden, the first useful month in which you start planting is February<\/strong>. It is in this period, in fact, that the first spring plants are planted. We have already told you about the activities of sowing this month<\/u>distinguishing between the techniques of direct sowing<\/u> and those in seedbed<\/u>.<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
In this article we instead devote our attention to direct transplants, that is, those that are done using seedlings purchased in the nursery<\/u> or in agricultural shops.
Obviously not all vegetables are suitable for being planted in the open ground as early as February. At night it is still very cold, in fact, and it could also be difficult to work the land due to rain. But there are some crops that better than others lend themselves to being planted in this period, preferably following the calendar of the moon. Let’s see what they are.<\/p>\nPlant the head vegetables in February<\/span><\/h2>\n
Vegetables that produce a head at the end of their cycle can be started with plant in February<\/strong>. Let’s talk about seedlings of: lettuce<\/u> (both the most famous Roman and Canasta<\/u> than the others different kinds<\/u>then iceberg, cappuccina, lollo, etc.), endive<\/u>, curly endive<\/u>, sugar loaf chicory<\/u>, puntarella and catalonia<\/u>, radish<\/u>.
The seedlings of these vegetables are very resistant to low temperatures, and in fact they are also grown in autumn and winter.
The advantage of planting these vegetables in February is that you could do without irrigation<\/u>as they have a short crop cycle and the coming spring is usually not lacking in rainfall.<\/p>
