Do you plant seedlings or transplants? Texas A&M was recommending no later than Sept 15th for this area (DFW) but if planted in October do you cover them up in late November when the cold comes around?

I've got a cold-frame that I'll set up over them when it starts getting really cold. I can generally have lettuce all through the winter.

Yes, they will be tiny little seedlings. I don't direct sow anything, actually.

I remember several years ago reading (in Organic Gardening, or somewhere) about a person that sprinkled the lettuce seed on the snow, with the ground worked up under-in late winter when the weather had settled, going on early spring— When the snow melted, the seed rooted and took off. I have always wanted to try that but have never had snow at the right time. Obviously it would be late winter to do that.
