4 Best Types of Lettuce to Grow in Your Garden
Lettuces are cool-season crops that bolt (send up a flower stalk) in hot weather. Bolted lettuce often turns bitter.
To grow lettuce in the heat, start by choosing hot weather varieties like Sunland, Catalina, Muir, and Coastal Star. Harvest the leaves when they're young and tender for the best flavor and texture.
