I am trying to identify which lettuces handle the heat better than others. We live in outback SA but we have plenty of water and I can erect shade, but I can't do much about the heat. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

What part of Outback SA? If you look at the Diggers site (diggers.com.au) they have a few slow to bolt varieties. That is all I could suggest as I believe it is the heat which causes bolting. Goldrush and Flame are 2 you could try. I am in Adelaide and will probably have the same issue when it gets to late January. Cheers and Good luck
