Dear friends -

This is our first year using shade tunnels and houses for salad production.

Does someone know the rule of thumb for using shade with lettuce 
production here in the mid-Atlantic? (I guess anywhere w.b. fine! ;-) 
I'm to the point right now where I'm ready to start handling my shade 
cloth like a sailor handles sails on a sailboat, continually moving 
them for what appears to be the best position.

And then it dawns on me: maybe I don't really need shade at all in September.
