Hey, I'm planting lettuce tomorrow!

In the ground? What other veggies can be planted now?

Sugar peas, mustard, collards, radish turnips, kale, Irish potaotes,
chard.

Mmm, turnips. I've just started cooking with them and love them. Can they
be sown directly this early, or should I sprout them first?

This time of year you will only get greens. You have to plant late
summer to fall to get the root. The heat here will make them bold and
go to seed before the roots are well formed.

Thanks! Didn't realise that.
