February Gardening
Judy's Garden Calendar February
The main focus for the gardener in February is on keeping everything alive, especially on those very hot days.
Bulbs keep their promises
A bulb comes ready-equipped with the promise of a flower.
Plants for free
Somewhat surprisingly, given the heat of late summer, February can be a good month for taking cuttings and propagating your own plants.
Product of the Month - Yates Baythroid Lawn Grub & Garden Insecticide
Late summer is the season to be on the lookout for adult black beetles emerging from the lawn.
Seed of the Month - Yates Seed Tape Broccoli
A top quality variety that can be sown now to crop in the cooler months.
A living rose – the gift of love for Valentine’s Day
A potted rose plant that will live for many years is a great way to acknowledge a long-lasting commitment.

I haven't had much luck with seed tapes - I think you really need to keep them damp/wet to make sure the paper gives way.

Love the idea! Any more vegetables coming out in tapes? I use boxes for my vegetable garden as we are only in rented premises, so this would be ideal. I need only plant one or two at a time, instead of the many you get when you buy a punnet. Must tell my son-in-law about them too.

I have not tried seed tapes but have seen them on a gardening show - they seem very easy. Have already planted broccoli as well as dwarf marigolds - still the moths are present, what else do you recommend to get rid of the white moth.

I love the idea of seed tapes. It can be really difficult with some seeds to actually 'see' that you've covered them! FANTASTIC! Will certainly check out more types of tape now I have a plot in the community garden.
