Vegie Growing Challenge Tips
The Yates Spring Vegie growing Challenge began in 2010 and quickly developed into a wonderful community of gardeners sharing daily trials and successes that come with getting a vegetable garden going in the midst of spring weather. It is due to this incredibly supportive community that the Vegie Growing Challenge has just completed its 12th season!
And as always Yates has been supportive and generous as it provides this fabulous platform for all gardeners of all levels of experience with gardens of all sizes from the tiny to the enormous, to grow and develop as well as the opportunity to win great prizes.
We are looking forward to another wonderful season gardening alongside some inspiring Kiwi gardeners. So watch this space.
