Default What veg to plant in Feb?

Last week end was the first really dry, bright, sunny, not exceedingly
cold, not stormy day (week end day, that is) in a very long time, and
it gave me the opportunity to get back into the garden to finish the
mulching job (farmyard manure) I had started before xmas.
As a good dose of shovelling and wheelbarrowing sometimes does, it
gave me a hunger to get back in there - after all, next Fri is St
Brigid's day, and here it is very much the first day of Spring - and
it feels like it, too.
My whole veg patch is beautifully mulched since November, a few weeds
peeking through, but nothing that is not manageable. I still have a
few cavolo neros that I pluck whenever I gather the courage and the
wellies to get in there. Nothing else there apart from that.
Is there anything I can safely sow/plant outdoors in Feb in the East
Midland part of Ireland, which will give me some early fresh veg?
