Have you tried covering the patch with deer netting raised on stakes on all sides and draped over the top? Some friends protected their blueberry plants that way.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16932826147522119761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1696676219167858431.post-2998515584681894362011-05-11T22:15:06.062-04:002011-05-11T22:15:06.062-04:00Sheila,

I'm so glad I learned that lettuce grows well in part shade!<br /><br />Karin, I know. I keep waiting for that heat. Once it starts, it's relentless. But I'm enjoying it now!Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16932826147522119761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1696676219167858431.post-90682864802553027602011-05-10T06:10:21.877-04:002011-05-10T06:10:21.877-04:00That looks delicious!
