February is a great month to start seeds indoors in zone 8 because it provides enough time for the seedlings to grow and mature before being transplanted outside once the danger of frost has passed.

Starting seeds indoors in February allows the seedlings to receive the ideal conditions for germination and growth, including adequate light, warmth, and moisture, without having to worry about weather conditions. This controlled environment also allows for more precise control over the growing conditions, making it easier to provide the seedlings with the best possible start.

Additionally, starting seeds indoors in February allows you to get a jump start on the growing season, which is especially important in zone 8 where the growing season is relatively short. By the time the seedlings are ready to be transplanted outside, the soil will have had time to warm up and the weather will be more conducive to successful transplanting.
