Lettuce appreciation society

In the summer I have to sow lettuce in the late afternoon and pop the tray in the coolest spot I can find or it just doesn't germinate, although interestingly I rarely have problems with it bolting. But then I sow very little every 2 weeks so it doesn't get a chance!

And this year of course it is bolting like mad despite being a pretty cool and wet summer so far.

We're loving Paris Island Cos at the moment,  really fresh and crunchy
