LOL, Ann, I'm in the Twin Cities: on the Mississippi in MN.

We're all dancing like crazy people today, because of the unheard of high of 65 that's predicted.

We get hot in summer, but even then, it tends to cool off at night, except for a few miserable nights.

Take a look, on the Seed Savers' Exchange website, at a lettuce called Rouge D'hiver. We planted it one year, along with the regular stuff, and as all the rest was coming up, it did not.

But, once the temps hit 80 or more, for several days, it started to sprout. I told myself, "D'UH!" The name means red of summer, in French. It's a warm weather lettuce, that may even work for your weather, at least your early spring.

Lettuce doesn't require much of a green thumb. It'll grow just fine in a pot, so long as it has good soil, and regular water.
