How to Grow Lettuce in ContainersGrowing your own fresh lettuce is possible even without a big plot of land for a garden.
In fact, lettuce is arguably the best crop to choose when you’re using alternative growing methods such as container gardening, particularly for novice growers who want to experiment before moving on to crops that require more intensive caretaking.

Those versatile, leafy heads spring up quickly, grow fast, and leave little work to be done when a container garden is properly planned – which it will be, since you’re taking the time to learn just how to do it. Good thinking!
After doing a bit of research into the many different varieties of lettuce available on the market and making a selection, it’s just a matter of choosing appropriate containers and potting soil, finding a location, and creating a schedule for caretaking that gets the job done.
We’ll cover these important points and more, up ahead. Here’s everything you’ll find as you read on:
Benefits of Growing Lettuce in ContainersContainers open up new possibilities for gardeners who want to grow their own food, even if they have some limitations that make conventional gardening difficult.
Whether those limitations are logistical, such as a lack of space or little time to dedicate to the project, or they’re related to physical needs, they can often be overcome. So many customizable alternatives exist.

Gloves are always of interest to gardeners – I have an enormous collection, many of which have holes in the fingers, so I think it is time to cull the less than perfect and invest in a few more. I came back from the show with a pair of MechanixWear womens’ leather-palmed gloves (£22) which are soft, comfortable and washable as well as extremely tough. The sizing is on the small side though so it’s best to buy larger than normal. Burgon & Ball always have innovative displays on their stand – their Love the Glove range (from £12.95) were displayed under glass domes.

The Chelsea Flower Show
I don’t think it was just the flat light, grey skies and chilly temperatures that gave the show quite a subdued feel. Of course, it was not helped by our never-arriving spring that has left many of the show gardens with flowers on the point of unfurling, but seemingly as reluctant to open as I was to remove any of the several layers of clothing I was wearing on Press Day.
Sir Paul Smith finds inspiration at the Chelsea Flower Show Last week I somewhat reluctantly took the train to London for a second day in a row to attend the late afternoon RHS press briefing for Chelsea 2015. Don’t get me wrong – I was interested – it was the prospect of a two hour journey home on a crowded commuter train that put me off. I’M SO GLAD I WENT.
