To begin with tried growing lettuce before but didn’t have a whole lot of success. It might have been an issue of temperature. Lettuce plants like cool weather. Their ideal temps are between 55°F and 75°F.
Lettuce Iceberg If you plant lettuce when it’s too cold outside as can be seen, your seeds will likely take longer to sprout and grow. But if you plant lettuce when it’s too warm outside, your seeds may still sprout, but you’re not likely to enjoy the plants for very long eventually. They’ll feel stressed by the warm temps and do something called bolting, or focusing on seed production.
