Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

In this week's issue of Get Growing we say bring on the feijoa season and share growing tips and the latest new varieties. We also have advice on bagging fruit, swapping seeds, feeding soil bacteria and planting nut trees, plus we have a cool hack for avoiding spray drift.

Check out our list of some of our favourite seed, plant and gardenware retailers who offer online shopping and discover some striking late-season bulbs.

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:
