- Brassicas Planting: Mid-February is the ideal time to start brassicas like cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, and kale indoors in Zone 6, though Brussels sprouts should be started a bit later to avoid issues with transplant shock, especially for cauliflower.
- Celery and Celeriac: These slow-growing crops are also started in February to ensure they have a long growing period before being transplanted outdoors after the last frost.
- Succession Sowing: February sees a second round of sowing for cold-hardy leafy greens such as lettuce, spinach, chard, and various mustards, with additional sowings planned for mid-March to ensure a continual harvest.
- Asparagus and Unusual Seeds: Asparagus is started from seed in February, alongside a unique potato variety called Clancy, which grows true from seed, unlike typical potatoes.
- Herbs, Flowers, and Bedding Plants: A variety of herbs (like parsley, oregano, and thyme), annuals (like petunias and impatiens), and perennials (like verbena and foxglove) are also started in February to prepare for spring planting.

Why do you have to cover your seedlings? Is it for humidity???
I wish I was in zone 6, at least as it pertains to the growing season. That said. You have more snow on the ground than I do here in zone 4. Warming up here soon, but March can play some tricks on us here. I will be starting onions at the end of the month, probably celery, I already have my true potato seeds started. About a month, probably a little more, then I can start some of my favorites… the brassicas, tomatoes, peppers etc. … Though I do have all kinds of experiments going with peppers and tomatoes… lots of extra seeds, so I figure winter was a good time to mess with things, refine some processes. Have asparagus going already and of course the rhubarb I have previously mentioned. No fair, you get to be over a month ahead of me. Oh well, good motivation and plenty to do in the mean time besides. Thanks. Take care.
I was just busy and could not watch your video sorry for late comments , very very attractive & charming video , I have also grown chilli in sack bags and preparing soil for tomatos ok thank you my sweet sister take care of you
I’ve been enjoying your videos. Nice to find someone in my zone 6A Ohio to help with growing!!😻
Jenna,
I started lots cold season stuff. My cabbage and broccoli just exploded. Leggy. Is it safe on the transplant to bury that stem a bit or is that a bad idea? ~jamie
Our yard has pretty close to 4 ft. of snow, that finally stayed.It came and went the first part of winter here in zone 4a. I got to plow and snowblow again today. March looks like snow and rain, probably ice. My garlic should have overwintered well. I started a few seeds out in milk jugs as an experiment. Thirty jugs, but just a sprinkling of seeds so as not to waste to many just in case. Not able to do it in the house. No room. Great info, thanks for sharing!
I am loving your channel..I’m in zone 6a CBUS Ohio. Looking forward to seeing your 2021 Garden 😊🍓🍅🌽🍉🥒🍆
i am in 6a, when would you recommend starting nasturtiums indoor?
is that rootcube you propagating the celery and celeriac in? I was wondering if that was possible but never tried it. Can you make a video on it? I promise to give a thumps up on it, lol!
Jenna I was thinking that it could be so nice if you coulf make a video every month about the specific plants that grow that month. Like a monthly calendar of the gardener. Also can you advice on how to diy grow lights? I live in Sweden and here the prices are crazy high for already made grow lights.. I was thinking maybe a diy could work but don't know where to start.. Thank you for the lovely content 😘❤️
I'm in Florida in February I might have buy my broccoli this year Jenna ..🤣🤣😆🙏🙏🔯🕎 SHALOM ALECHUM 🕎🔯🇮🇱
Your very informative and will help me bunches as I am zone 6 (I think) Indiana. On a totally unrelated how often are you told you look like Kathrine Heigl or Diane Lane lol!?
Thank you for all the information! Because of how unsettled the world has been I wanted to try this winter to use my hobby green house as an”fridge”. I wonder if I can keep it right above freezing and with a grow light could I keep the cold weather crops like greens and carrots and some brassicas going/ has anyone tried this? I live in zone 5ish. 🙏🏻❤️
Zone 6b here in Salem NH, thanks for all the information
It’s perfect for our zone!!
Where did you get the grow rack, and light? Can you link it?
Thank you.
I'm in 6b Connecticut, I'm thinking of starting My Cabbage and Georgia Collards, and Broccoli in Raised Beds. do you are you saying that it's Okay to start them indoors now and plant them maybe in March or April? meanwhile once the soil is Workable I should amend the soil? any suggections?
Do you have a video on the basics? Recommendations on grow lights, seedling materials etc? I gardened last year just to dabble. I want to improve this year but I am have no idea on where to start with using grow lights for starts.
For zone 6….Any tips if indoor grow lights are not an option? When should I plant seeds outdoors if I can’t start them indoors in February?
I am Ca zone 7/8 but last frost date is more like 5/6 would your gardening videos aline with what I can grow in my area taking into account that my area gets snow but summers are hot in the 90s/100s.
Dang.this means i.gotta start mine in. DECEMBER
i was in 7 (philadelphia) and moved a bit closer to Lancaster PA and shifted zones into 6! this will be my first year in the new house and my first year gardening (although i got a lot of bushes and trees planted in in late fall.

Off topic: where is your couch from?
When do you put out your brassicas in the garden?
Is there anything you do to maintain the heat we get in our zone through out the summer? Do you use a cover or plant in shaded area?
Great video. This is motivating. It’s late January here in 6b and I am already trying to get some momentum by starting seeds. Can’t wait for spring! Be well.
I love watching your videos! Thank you for the helpful info always! I am also in zone 6! Are you using coconut coir for your seedlings? Your seedlings look so healthy already!!
I start lettuce in Feb and let it mature in the green house once they look sturdy enough to go outside.
I’d love to see you dive in to some native wildflowers on video!
