We have good luck with other Summer Crisp types (Anuenue also a favorite): -- e.g., Magenta, Sierra; Looseleaf types: New Red Fire; Romaine: Winter Density, Jericho; Oak: Pompom, Truckee. Limiting condition for us is more likely to be heavy rain (or drought) than our normal heat (82-92) and humidity (year round average about 70%--but significant 2-3 month dry season included). Heads often smaller and most types must be harvested promptly to forestall development of bitterness. Not sure how it factors in but we also have only a 1.75 hours difference between short days of "winter" and long days of "summer."
