Part of my interest growing lettuce the past few years has been trying to grow it from early spring through to frost. Last season, I tried using cold frames and was able to extend my harvest by at least 4-5 weeks. By purchasing different kinds of lettuce seeds and keeping a consistent supply of germinating seeds and seedlings ready for planting in the garden, I have been able to have salad greens spring through fall.
I have been experimenting with slow to bolt varieties in order to keep quality lettuces through the hottest weather. (It was 108° here recently.)
I plan on posting details of my experiments so others may benefit from my learning curve and be able to enjoy their own tasty salads for most of the year.
