The lettuce is biting the dust. I have tried to protect it from the direct sun but am lead to believe it is just not meant for the 85 degree heat. Before it all wilts we will harvest what we have and let the bunnies enjoy it (there's not enough for either one of us to enjoy). I will be sure to keep in mind to plant lettuce much earlier in the season, another lesson learned in the wonderful world of gardening!

Poor lettuce. Popped in from SITS to say hi!
I feel your pain, my whole garden is dead from the heat. Boo hiss.
Stopped in from SITS to say hi!
Over from SITS! =)
I have a brown thumb when it comes to plants!
Oh dear! Try plastic pots. The tin lets in too much heat to the soil. Don't use clay either - same problem. Don't give up! Also - morning shade and afternoon sun is the best formula.
Oh no, that stinks!!!! I have absolutely NO gardening experience...well I do, but not successful so I have no tips for you!
