Subscribe to our free ezine Get Growing!

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

In this week's issue of Get Growing we say if you want fast food, grow speedy microgreens. Plus check out our guide to crops you can sow from seed in autumn, enter a sand saucer in our virtual garden show, propagate strawberry runners, save seeds, cover up bare soil and use this time in isolation to tidy up gardens, sheds and seed stashes.

Make an elegant garden trellis and send bored kids outside to explore the garden and make a nature wristband. We also have some great prizes up for grabs, including a one-year subscription to NZ Gardener and a native plant prize pack from Blue Mountain Nurseries.

Delivered every Friday to your email inbox, Get Growing digital magazine offers seasonal gardening advice from the NZ Gardener magazine's team of experts. Each week we answer all your burning questions on raising fruit and veges and tell you the top tasks to do in your backyard this weekend. Subscribe here:
