Warm Season scratch To turn in Summer Heat
I use to think of growing loot only in the spring as a nerveless season crop before the heat of summer smasher . But you could develop a salmagundi of heat - tolerant wampum in July - August that you could harvest in later September and into late October ( with run-in cover for cold nights ) and enjoy reinvigorated salads into late crepuscle . These summertime dinero are call Crisp or Batavian lettuces which are heat tolerant . There are many more Crisp or Batavian gelt than name here . Also Romaine is more rut large-minded too . found these in from July - other August to harvest before it freeze . The early mean solar day to harvesting are for harvesting when they are young and the latter days to harvest home would be for full grown lettuce . I arise mine inside under lights to give them a point set out but you could direct seeded player as well , just keep them well watered for germination . I institute lettuce outside under 30 % shade material . Here are some varieties I ’ve grown .
