Want to plant lettuce seeds this weekend here in DFW for the Fall. Never tried a Fall planting—its been so hot here I’m concerned that any seedlings wont be able to handle the heat if they sprout at all.
Should I wait a week or two for it to cool down somewhat before planting the seeds?

I won't be planting lettuce until the middle of October (or when nighttime temps dip into the low 60s) here on the west side of DFW.

I planted lettuce that is in seed tape on August 21st. It's up, and I wil probably stick with seed tape over seeds in the future..

The seedlings are all so perfectly spaced, and in a perfectly straight line..unlike when I plant seed.

I got lettuce to sprout one year when it was really hot still by planting it inside. Once it sprouted I put it outside in the shade/dappled sun under a tree.

YMMV.
