| Lettuce does not freeze easily, but these are pretty small to put outside. I would say it is all right to plant seed outside now, but I'd hold off putting those tiny plants outside for a while. |

| Lettuce works best when direct seeded anyway so I sure would go ahead and direct seed some now in your zone. Even snow poses no threat to it. But heat does. By the time you get your transplants hardened off and out in 2 weeks it won't be long before they run into weather that is too warm and bolt. Dave |
