Whenever my lettuce shows signs of bolting, I pull the top off the plant and that buys me another week or two. =] But truly, I must have got a heat-resistant variety, because it hasn't really started going to seed yet. The lettuce has been really splendid this year in Rocky Mount. I couldn't be happier with it.

Yes, Sevin seems to work in my backyard garden. The guys growing soy and cotton in the local fields apparently don't use anything so benign.

Mount Olive?! LOL No wonder your lettuce is still going! I’m in Newport. It’s a whole nother world, climate wise! LOL Ours was great while it lasted. I had a spinach bowl, and a bowl of red sails, buttercrunch, and green ice.
