One
of the first tasks in your February Vegetable Garden Plans will
be to start things at the proper time, and without doubt the success of
your February Vegetable Garden Plans depends on the thoroughness
with which it is done.
The following month by month gardening tips for operations, will not
only serve as a handy reminder of things to be done, but as the basis
for such a check list. The importance of the preparation is obvious in
all matters of your February Vegetable Garden Plans.
Hotbeds.
A little early for making them until after the 15th, but get all your material ready--manure, selected and stacked; lumber ready for any new ones; sash all in good repair.
Starting Seeds.
First part of the month, earliest planting of cabbage, cauliflower and lettuce should be made; and two to four weeks later for main early crop. At this time also, beets and earliest celery.
Gardening tools.
Overhaul them all now; order repairs. Get new catalogs and study new improvements and kinds you do not possess.
Poles and brush.
Whether you use the old-fashioned sort (now harder to obtain than they used to be) or make your "poles" and use wire trellis for peas, attend to it now.
Fruit.
Finish up last month's work, if not all done. Also examine plum and cherry trees for black-knot.
