It's gone from fairly nice temps if rainy here to near 100° temps . I was
just out sprinklin' the garden and noticed at least one of my lettuce

last week , and the weather is tryin' to do me out of the fruit of my
labors
.

In the words of The Great Bubba, "Ah feeyul yore pain", LOL! I quit trying
to grow lettuce years ago for the very reason that's making you crazy.
Where I
live "spring" is about 10 days in late February or early March. After
that,
temperatures are likely to be too high for lettuce to be reliable.
