February To-Do List for Zone 5
Bring geraniums out of storage; cut them back by half, water well, and set them in a bright, cool window.
Indoors under lights, start seeds of sun-loving daisies, columbine (Aquilegia spp.), stocks (Matthiola incana), edging lobelia (Lobelia erinus), and shade-seeking impatiens.
Start seeds of lettuce, celery, onions, leeks, and early tomatoes indoors under lights.
If the ground isn't frozen, sow some spinach and radishes outdoors under cover.
Force some indoor blooms! Cut branches or gather prunings from fruit trees, lilacs, and forsythia. Put them in a vase with water, then enjoy the flowers a few weeks later.
