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.

MARSHALLS, the seed firm, is offering gardeners trial packets of seed of its new iceberg lettuce, 'Tiger'. It has deep-red outer leaves surrounding a pale-green, crunchy heart.

Sow seed thinly, outside, any time from the end of March onwards, and thin the seedlings to stand about 10in apart. Early in the season you can transplant lettuces, but if you do this in summer, they bolt.

For a trial packet (enough for 10 plants) send a 20p coin to cover postage in an envelope addressed to: Tiger Lettuce Offer, S E Marshall & Co Ltd, Wisbech, Cambridgeshire PE13 2RF. A full-sized packet costs pounds 1.49.
