Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

In this week's issue of Get Growing we feature some of New Zealand's oldest houseplants (we're talking 100 years old!). We also have top tips on sowing salad greens for summer, waging war against slugs and snails, creating microclimates, heating up seedlings and protecting them from rascally rodents.

We also tell you how to grow a bumper crop of tomatoes this summer and debunk a few tomato-growing myths along the way, we talk to the eco-minded duo from Links Organics in Hawke's Bay, and we have some fabulous prizes up for grabs including a cork clock from The Company Shed and an Xact Weed Puller from Fiskars.

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:
