Newbie question about shade

wrote: Thanks, Pat. I have a lot of lettuce seed, so I'll try it. I've grown a number of things in containers, but wasn't sure about lettuces. Your info is useful. I'm sure your greatest problem - where you live - will be heat. If you get it planted very early and again very late, you should be able to have lovely lettuce. It's a treat too, I really enjoyed it last summer: nice fresh salad each day! With basil and green peppers and cukes and tomatoes (later in the season) - all from the garden. I still wish I had had a great find like your containers. You really got a blessing there. We sure did. You know, I've seen pictures of lettuce growing (under lights) in a refrigerator drawer: you know, the bottom drawers in a fridge. This wouldn't work well outside because it should have drainage holes, but I bet you could grow lettuce nicely in a plastic sweater box or other storage container if you drill holes in it first. It hasn't got a lot of roots, so it doesn't need a significant depth of soil.
