Ask Tom: Growing Lettuce in Summer

Ask Tom: Growing Lettuce in Summer

by Tom Elmore | Jun 22, 2015 | Organic Farming

Lettuce is one of the top three vegetables that Americans consume (potatoes and tomatoes are the other two) and summer is salad season when no one wants to turn on the stove. Summer is also the most challenging time for lettuce production on our farm. This year has been particularly challenging with high temperatures and erratic rainfall.
