WEEKEND WORK
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Weekend Work is going into hibernation for the winter; no more nagging this season about staking, mulching and dead-heading. I even feel guilty myself when I read it.
Meanwhile, attend to terracotta pots. Those standing in saucers of water should be taken out of them. Pots are less likely to crack open in icy weather if the compost is well drained.
Plant roses, fruit trees and new hedges. Order seeds in the bloated interval that stretches between Christmas and New Year. Include at least three things you have never grown before.
Keep house plants dryish and potted bulbs dampish. Clear out the greenhouse and, if you are going for the solid-gold, hallmarked halo, clean and oil all gardening tools. Weekend Work will return at the beginning of March.
