What can I pre-grow indoors in February?

I like to start tomatoes, peppers and chillies warm in February, because they need a head start. A bright spot matters, otherwise the seedlings grow long and spindly.

Can I already sow outdoors in February?

On frost-free days you can, under fleece or in a cold frame, for tough crops like spinach or broad beans. I prefer to wait until the soil has dried out a little, otherwise the seed clumps up.

How fast do I get my plan?

Three steps, three minutes. Type your location, measure your bed, click the veg you like. I do the rest.

Free: one bed, full annual plan, PDF export — free and no account needed. Pro (multiple beds + weather + garden calendar + push & email reminders): €4.90/month or €39/year. Premium (with AI coach Stachi): €9.90/month or €79/year.

Does it work for a balcony planter?

Yes. From a 40×20 cm balcony box to a 3×1 m raised bed — same three steps, same outcome.

Do I need an account?

Not for your first plan — creating one works without signing in. You'll need an account once you want multiple beds, your plan on multiple devices, or weather reminders.

Plantable now

Still plantable in February

February is the month when the windowsill slowly starts buzzing and the first seed trays find their spot. Too late for nothing, quite the opposite: tomatoes, peppers and herbs can be pre-grown now, and on mild days the bed loosens up enough for the earliest sowings.

Start indoors only

Begin on the windowsill, move to the bed later.
