I had great luck with lettuce this spring growing black seeded simpson and
salad bowl. Now that the rest of the salad vegges are getting ripe my
lettuce is about done. I live in central WI and we do get warm days 85 to 95
with night time temps in the 60's
Do you think i can get another batch of simpson to grow this year ? I could
water daily and put a cover over it about 12 inches above ground to shade it
from the sun.
Or should I try another type of lettuce for this time of year. /
Thanks for any ideas.

You can certainly start lettuce seeds soon for growing into
fall's cooler weather.

BTW, I had lettuce survive a foot of snow and temperatures
of 16 F this spring - so you can probably grow it for a
considerable time after your first frost, maybe into
December.
