Last year-hottest since 1956 here in Missouri. I got black seeded simpson to sprout and grow in the summer. Planted toward the end of June in a rectangular planter, so I could bring it in if I needed to.

It was in the shade of a tree during the hottest part of the day. I just watered it a little morning and night, and had lettuce all summer and fall till I pulled it out to dump in the compost heap and plant the fall/winter garden.

Speaking of lettuce I got some seeds from the little asian lady up the block but I cant hardly understand her/accent and all. Anyway she grows this leaf lettuce has small, well defined leaves and a greenish/reddish color when mature but I didnt catch the name of the variety. Anyway she has it growing gang busters in mid Feb here in North Tx which is a fairly cold month for here overall. It's my little fun garden lab experiment below about 1 month growth. Anyone know or guess what this is? (besides Asian Lady Lettuce, ehehehe)
