Allan - We are in eastern Kansas and it gets very hot here in the summer and
lettuce IS being grown through the summer in hoophouses in our area, with
the sides up and shade cloth. There was a hoophouse trial through K-State
and one of the occasional posters on this list was in charge of it. Ted can
give you the details as to varieties, planting dates, etc.

The two growers I know who did well with hoophouse lettuce are, as am I, in
the last minute throes of opening our new farmers' market TOMORROW! So I
don't imagine they'll be responding.
