February in your garden is all about preparation.
Finish off any major digging and weeding remembering to add lots of organic matter. Prepare seedbeds and cover them with clear polythene or fleece to warm up the soil before sowing. Plan a crop rotation system for your vegetable plot, to ensure that the same crops are not grown in the same beds year after year. This helps to prevent disease build up.
