>How about French Crisp lettuce.  If you had some 5-6 week transplants 
ready, they would have time to mature.  You could even sow your fall 
peas inbetween the lettuce.  The french crisps seem to do fairly well in 
the summer.  They do well in Massachusetts; although we do not get 
really long term heat waves, we do get periods of a week or two of high 
eighties and into the nineties.  I have used Sierra & Nevada;  both are 
really tasty.  Small seed pkts are available from Pinetree Garden Seeds
