What to plant in February: zone 2a
A rule-of-thumb starting point for zone 2a: last spring frost around June 5, first fall frost around August 20. Zones are set by winter lows, not frost dates, so two gardens in the same zone can be weeks apart. Measure your ZIP below for dates from your area's own 30-year record.
Typical last frost: June 5
Typical first frost: August 20
Winter lows: -50 to -45 °F
Plan & order
- Inventory and order seed3 sowings: Feb 13 and Feb 20 and Feb 27
Sort what you already have, toss anything over 3 years old, and order early while varieties are in stock. Sowing again a few weeks later keeps the harvest coming instead of arriving all at once.
