What to plant in February

Begin starting seeds indoors for warm-season crops. Zucchini, tomatoes, and peppers need 6-10 weeks indoors. Plant them now and they'll be harvest-ready right when babies hit 6-8 months in late summer.

Timings vary by zone. Check your local last frost date before planting.
