At the beginning of March 2020, Neil Tyler had never so much as picked up a trowel or planted a seed in his life. A retired electrical engineer who had spent many years in rented accommodation in the Middle East and West Indies, the pleasures of gardening had entirely passed him by. Then came lockdown.

Many people find it hard to maintain growth in their gardens during the warmer months, whether it's because the ground becomes dry quickly or plants have too much exposure to sunlight. Constantly keeping plants watered can be a struggle, as time might be used elsewhere such as homeschooling or returning back to work. 

In this blog post, Nutley's evaluates the best options for keeping your plants watered and healthy whatever your timescale or budget.

During life in lockdown, the team at Nutley's have been growing our own food supplies. Today's blog post looks at growing lettuce - a fresh nutritious and easy to grow leaf vegetable. Simply follow these step-by-step instructions and you will have a wealth of lettuce for your summer salads in no time.
