[Market-farming] Dressing ideas for bitter summer lettuce(?)

We have good luck germinating lettuce in summer by seeding the 
lettuce in flats and putting the flats in a cooler for 48 hours at 
about 70 degrees F.  After 48 hours we put the flats in a cold frame 
in full sun.  The lettuce has not actually emerged in 48 hours, but 
the seed has apparently overcome its dormancy and begun to germinate, 
because it emerges within several days of being put in the cold 
frame.  This has worked with all lettuce varieties we have tried.
