Just a quick update -- the lettuce I tried this year, Merveille des Quatre Saisons, really is a marvel. It has withstood some 90 degree days and hasn't even started to bolt. It's definitely the most successful green we've grown so far. The colors of the leaves range from a lovely burgundy red to light green.
Sadly, the strawberries did not fare as well this year. With all the rain in May (and some pests), we only gathered a few handfuls. The ones that survived were tasty though. Next year I'm going to try putting a ring of eggshells around the strawberries to protect them from slugs.
