When seeding lettuce in summer, cover your just-seeded flats and put them in
the refrigerator for two days.  Take out and you will see germination in
about a day.  Even though we have grown many lettuces before, trying to get
one that works, this is a first for us.  We also planted several "summer
crisps" along with it, "just to see".  Jericho outgrew them by many times,
and they got bitter and bolted.  Jericho is a winner for southern lettuce
growing.   Alison
