I hope you’re all okay.

My lettuce did particularly well this year! We’ve grown Grand Rapids for years. It’s a green leaf lettuce with frilly leaves. It is suited more for cooler weather ….now that we’re into the middle of July it’s finally starting to wilt. (I’m in Ohio, BTW)

I just now came inside with a colander full of green beans. It’s hot today (86) but not nearly what you have, I’m sure.

A few pics of the green leaf, Romaine, red leaf, and Grand Rapids.
