Start more lettuce in august and september for the fall.


When should I put it out next spring?


Hrm, I think I started my lettuce in january, and put it out in the
garden in february. And took to watching 3 weather reports twice a day
to see if I needed to cover them for the night.

First romaine lettuce I sold was around the last week of march.
Last lettuce sold was about 3 weeks ago.

There are bibb type lettuces that are slower to bolt,
I haven't found a variety that doesn't get too bitter for the
rest of the family.
