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.

The weathers crap here too. Its been solid rain and the only thing I got
in is lettuce. and a few onions. Its screwing up planting here big time.

Ohio zone 5


I am about three weeks behind in planting because of the rain. This is the
first week of nice weather here in Michigan. Things are drying out were I
can cut the grass and plant things. The bad part is I do not have the time
or energy to do it all at once. Plants in my pots are getting a bit too
large and not doing as well.

But the weather is starting to shape up nicely after a long harsh winter
and very wet spring. I just hope for nice summer.
