WHAT'S IN THE FEBRUARY ISSUE

SHADE SURVIVORS
Shade has a bad reputation with gardeners, who see it is an impossible place to grow plants. Wrong! There are many plants that thrive without lots of sun. There are also different types of shade from filtered shade to dry shade. Check out our top selections of shrubs, small trees, groundcovers, climbers and understorey plants to fit every shady situation.

SPACE SAVERS
If you have a tiny backyard and are struggling to fit in all the plants you’d like to grow plus other backyard necessities, we can help. We’ve gathered clever storage ideas for gardens. Plus, we show you new places to put your plants, such as on a roof, in a vertical garden, climbing up a screen to hide the bike shed or displaying them in tiers.

EDIBLE GARDEN
Celebrated cook, Maggie Beer is in the kitchen with crunchy home-grown cucumbers. As well as sharing a couple of mouth-watering recipes, she has advice on selecting the best varieties, planting to ensure success and choosing the best moment to pick. Plus, Jennifer Stackhouse explains how to grow a perfect tomato crop and deal with its pests and diseases.

WIN A TRIP TO NORFOLK ISLAND
We launch our 2012 Gardener of the Year competition with a great prize for the winner – a trip to Norfolk Island! If you or someone you know is passionate about gardening and has really transformed their garden, check out the competition on page 6 or download the entry form and start working on your entry. Plus, Adam Woodhams gives us a tour of the island's gardens.

GROWING WATER PLANTS
Millie Ross profiles top productive water plants to grow. These include sweet potato, taro, water chestnut, watercress and water spinach. And, of course, Millie has thrifty ideas for what to grow them in, including a bathtub, metal mop bucket or even an old sink.

WIN! WIN! WIN!
