For families

In February see if you can spot green shoots in the garden, letting you know spring is on the way. From sowing seeds of pretty cottage-plant Nigella, to making warming cheesy leek crumble on a winter's day, there's something for everyone.

This month try:

• Sowing Nigella seeds
• Making fun plant labels 
• Making warming cheesy leek crumble  
• Spotting beautiful buds
   
• Things to do in the garden in February

Make an alpine colander
