Thanks for the advice. I did get lettuce to go okay but not like the heads they sell at the store. I agree with your point on planting earlier because when summer comes the heat is unbearable. SDak is nice, from what I saw of it. I set out to visit Mt Rushmore but I never made it due to car problems.

Thanks I mostly grow leaf lettuce too. The black hills is some amazing country. our winter can get a little rough sometimes

I grew up where we got four seasons and I sometimes miss the cold winters, especially during the summer. Have a nice day.

I lived in southern Cal for 10 years loved the weather there but really appreciated the seasons when i moved back Fall is my favorite.

Yeah, one day I hope to wise up and move. See it only took you 10 years to wise up. Just kidding. This heat during the summer makes me wacky.
