This is my first season growing lettuces too. I am surprised at how fun they have been. They grow so fast and are such bright colours, as well as delicious!
I used to live in a place where snails would eat them all, no matter how many traps and barriers I put to protect the vegetables. This year I've been going to my garden every morning, still expecting all my lettuces to have disappeared during the night. So it's a bit hard to believe that I can 1) grow them and 2) actually eat them! They really are easy to grow when you don't have an army of critters devastating your crops at night.
It's called "lattughino verde" and it seems to handle the heat pretty well too!
