February Gardening To-Do List According to Your USDA Growing Zone
According to The Weather Channel, January is, on average, the coldest month of the year in most parts of the United States, including the Midwest, South and East. However, colder winter weather persists throughout the month of February in many regions. Nonetheless, with springtime merely one calendar month away, February is an essential time for gardeners to prepare for the upcoming growing season.
Growing zones, also known as USDA Hardiness Zones, are geographic areas that indicate the average annual minimum temperature in a specific region. These zones help gardeners and farmers determine which plants are most likely to flourish in their climate.
The U.S. is sectioned off into 13 grow zones, with each zone representing a 10-degree temperature difference. Zone 1 is the coldest, while Zone 13 is the warmest. By understanding these divisions, growers can select appropriate plants that are better suited to survive (and thrive) in the local temperature extremes and seasonal variations, ensuring optimal growth and health.
Depending on your area’s designated zone, your February gardening to-do list will look a little different, so first identify your zone at planthardiness.ars.usda.gov. Then check out the comprehensive lists of gardening preparations tailored to each grow zone below. Do get started now so that, come springtime, you’ll be ready to hit the ground running!
By the middle of February, the average temperature is starting to go up. SO the last two weeks of Jan and the first two weeks of Feb are the coldest of the year.
