Lettuce is a cool-season crop, meaning it thrives in cooler temperatures and can be sensitive to heat. In the spring and fall, the temperatures are typically cooler, providing ideal growing conditions for lettuce. In the summer, the heat can cause lettuce to bolt, or go to seed, making the leaves bitter and less desirable for consumption. In the winter, the cold temperatures can also negatively impact lettuce growth. Therefore, spring and fall are the best times to grow and harvest lettuce. **
