February Garden Guide: What To Start From Seed Or Plant NOW
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ก.ย. 2024
- It's February and I have a ton of garden ideas for you whether you have passed your last spring frost date or not! In this month’s garden guide, I focus on the vegetable crops and plants that can be started from seed or planted during the month of February and spring garden planning. If your last spring frost date falls in January, February, March or April, then you need to start sowing seeds now. Therefore, I share my tips for indoor or outdoor seed sowing. I also cover important garden tasks like pruning fruit trees, techniques for sowing seeds, and recommendations on my favorite cultivars. Spring gardening is my favorite and most abundant season. I share all my tips and tricks as a professional seed and plant nursery so you can apply them at home.

WOW! Every time I watch one of your comprehensive videos I feel like I am getting a Ph.D. in gardening.😊
So nice of you 😊
@JerrasGarden Holy Brassicas! Those were huge! Loved this video and will be watching it more than once! Loving my Rosa Bianca eggplants, and sweet banana peppers, delicious! Thanks Jerra!
Just in time thank you!
Thanks!
Always a multitude of GREAT info...im in Texas 8b...the weather is always unpredictable....😊
Oh I know. I lived in TX for a few years. Very similar to FL minus a rainy season.
I started my eggplants , peppers and tomato’s yesterday . Inside of course because I’m up in NY . I’ll start my beans around the 2nd week of march inside and transplant them May 1st . I have heirloom green bean seeds that my wife’s great grandmother brought over from Italy when they immigrated.
Great video as always
I love Italian seeds! What is the cultivar name?
. When the pods dry the seeds are a cream and purple color . All right that’s all I’ve got .
@@JerrasGarden just figured out what you meant by cultivar by watching your bean video . They’re pole beans . 30yrs of gardening and I just realized what the word means 🙄
Thank you
Wow - first video of yours I have watched. Needless to say I will be watching more. Absolutely jam packed with good information, no padding - just full on. Brilliant.
Awesome, thank you!
Thanks dear ❤
Welcome 😊
I am Zone 8b in North FL Lake City Thank you ❤
You're welcome. The March guide goes live tomorrow.
That was a ton of great timely information. I'm glad I found your channel, I love your videos. I'm in zone 8a in north Georgia so I'm just getting started with a few plants. I do have onions up from seed. They're not hardly big enough to set out yet. This is the first year I have had any success getting onions to sprout. They seem to take forever. Thanks for sharing and take care.
Welcome aboard! Onion seeds do take forever to germinate. I find that fresh onion seeds germinate much faster.
Packed with wonderful information. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Jerra! You are fast becoming my favorite Florida gardener to follow!
Keep it coming!
Gwen / Flagler County
Florida zone 9B
Awesome! Thank you!
Im so glad i found you! I live on the space coast and going into my second spring of gardening. Your videos have helped a lot with knowing what and when to grow stuff here 😊
You are so welcome!
Bees LOOOOOOVE California poppies. They self-seed, so you will never have to replant/resow them. If they get to be too many, they are very easy to pull out. The bees bathe and roll around in these poppies. Very cute!
I have tried so many times to grow poppies here in FL but they seem to really dislike the humidity and heat. Lucky you can grow them.
Aw, too bad. They are also very pretty. After all the recent rains, I've had to pull out a TON of them the past few days. They were starting to take over the yard! Still saved plenty for the bees to enjoy, though. If you don't mind dandelions, bees love those too. Sunflowers will give them plenty of powder to roll around in also.
Wow that was a lot of information! Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
🤯🤯brain overload! thank you for all the information. Learned a lot today.
You are so welcome! The March guide is coming out soon on March 1st.
Absolutely love your videos! Here in zone 7a and I can’t wait to start sowing seeds thank you for all your loads of information very informative!
Glad you enjoy them!
I saw only this video and subscribed to your channel now. You have so much of knowledge in gardening.
One quick question, can I directly sow peas, spinach, carrots, sorrel, cilantro, bush beans/pole beans, fenugreek, corn now in zone 7b
Hey Jerra, I will be there for the raising chickens class. Thank you for all that you do. I have a question. When do you recommend to start fertilizing seedlings?
I start fertilizing my seedlings once they grow their first set of true leaves. I use a liquid fertilizer mixed at half strength and I fertilize every week.
In my zone 10b garden, pollinators love sunn hemp and starfruit blossoms! The sunn hemp blooms in particular were very popular and the plants are a nematode inhibitor, a green manure crop, and can be fed to some livestock!
Sunn hemp is awesome! So is Sorghum sundangrass to inhibit nematodes.
Love these videos! Look forward to them every month :)
Yay! Thank you!
My first time to watch your video. Perfect timing gor me.😊
Perfect!
Tip on controlling caterpillars/worms: wasps are great natural predators of them. If you notice any wasp nests nearby, try to let them be if they aren't in a doorway or something.
Yes very true 💯
Love it!!! 👍 Fairly new gardener here; will be joining through email also. Thank you.
Welcome gardener 👩🌾
So much information! I’m going to have to look at the transcript to get some of the information that I couldn’t get written down fast enough!
Thanks! Here is a direct link to the version on my website that you can copy/save/print etc... jerrasgarden.myshopify.com/blogs/monthly-growing-guides-1/february-growing-guide-for-zones-8
Coucou 👋🏻 👋🏻 👋🏻
Magnifique vidéo bravo
Plein de bonnes informations.
J'adore ce que vous faites 😊
A bientôt
New to your channel, I’m 9b Pasco County Fl, love that you are to the point. Good info.
Awesome! Thank you!
Hi Jerra! My wife and I are relatively new to Florida (zone 8) and are struggling with our garden. We love your website and channel, so informative! I wanted to ask you your thoughts on growing mangos in Florida, specifically zone 8?
I'm not aware of any mango varieties that tolerate cold below 25F (zone 9B). The best thing would be to visit your local nursery and ask around. They would carry the varieties that would grow well in your area/zone.
Hi. How do you have such a pretty garden with no holes in the leaves?
Planting things at the right time when disease and pest pressure is down really helps. I also interplant lots of flowers and herbs all over the place. French marigolds ward off worms.
🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤🙏🫶🙌🤗💋🌱 thank you
Welcome!!
You mentioned growing dahlias in Florida. Could you share more about how you are growing them?
I will have to do a whole video about it LOL. Thanks for the idea though. Just plant the bulb and they grow. They grow best when plant right now because the heat kills them off. The bulbs will not sprout again next year for us in FL. So not perennial like in other states. Try to choose heat tolerant cultivars. There is a list of heat tolerant varieties here: www.dahliasocietyofgeorgia.com/downloads/Heat%20Tolerant%20Dahlias_Alphabetical.pdf
@@JerrasGarden thank you very much for the list!
How many inches of compost/soil do you recommend for raised beds or a no- dig garden bed. I've heard so many conflicting numbers.
As much you can provide. Really cant go wrong with it. I like my raised beds to be at least 8 inches deep.
@jerra Do you have a solution for those little flies that are killing my beans?
What kind of flies? Is it white flies or gnats? White flies lay white circle eggs under the leaves.
They don't seem to be white. Very small, seem to be colorful and sparkly... They come out in a swarm when I'm going through the bushes looking for beans. I thought maybe I had a fungus and I have been spraying for the fungus, but that has done nothing for the flies. The leaves are getting brown spots and then they turn yellow and die. Edit: I caught one. They are tiny and a lime green color!
Im in alabama. Do you wait to plant potatoes during the waning phase? Does waning phase apply to growing potatoes in buckets instead of in the ground?
Honestly I have never gardened around the moon phases. I plant according to ideal temperatures for that crop. I don't discredit the moon phases, my aunt swears by them, I just personally have not experimented with it to know for sure if it has an effect.
@@JerrasGarden Great. Thanks for the info. This helps!
You mentioned visiting nurseries in South Florida, I'll be visiting Miami and would love to visit a few - where do you recommend?
Some ideas: Pine Island Nursery, Robert Is Here Fruit Stand, Fruit & Spice Park, Isaac Farms (succulents and cacti), Knaus Berry Farm, Redland Market Village, Secret Gardens Miami, Richard Lyon's Nursery, Schnebly Redland's Winery and Bewery
Thanks I'll check them out
Are you going to have ginger and tumeric available soon?
I am growing them out right now. Since its winter they are growing very slowly. It wont be for a few weeks/months.
Where do I find the links you talked about? Sondra
Links are in the video description
How do you protect your citrus trees?
I'm in FL zone 10A. I dont protect them from the cold if thats what you mean.
I had lots of lovely peppers, but the squirrels ate the all. Any ideas on how to get rid of them, let me know
Critters are hard to deal with. I would try putting another food source out there for the squirrels (bird feeder, peanuts) and see if they will leave your peppers alone. But this could also backfire and just attract loads of squirrels into your garden lol. I live in a very urban neighborhood so I don't have many squirrels.
@marilyncook658 I stumbled upon squirrel control when a cat showed up and adopted me. I had no idea outside cats hunt (and eat) squirrels and other rodents.
I was expecting this to be a dragon fruit grow video based on your outfit.
Lol I love bright colors
@@JerrasGarden -- your great persona shows through & through.
😂
Is it possible for tomatoes to turn purple if the lights are too close?
Some cultivars of tomatoes have a natural purple tint in the stems and leaves. If your not growing one of those, then the purple hue is usually caused by a phosphorus deficiency. I would fertilize with a liquid fertilizer at half strength every week. Too much light tends to cause white patches on the leaves which is essentially sunburn.
@@JerrasGarden last week was the first time I fertilized (they were 3 weeks old) and I used Grow Big half strength. Friday was their 2nd feeding. Should I switch to something else?

Those squash are so juicy 🤤
I can not find the black beans on your site.
They sold out quick. I am currently picking/drying/packaging more so check back in 1-2 weeks.
Wait WHAT? You’re also a beekeeper!? Where do you find the time? Come back to Texas!!!!
Bees barely take any of my time. They clean and feed themselves. I just check on them every few weeks to make sure they are ok.
What zone are you
Zone 10A in Florida
