Melissa's layered plants and a question about lettuce seeds

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Those all sound like big plants in small slots to me. Maybe if you could 
convince the tomatoes to lean  outward of the beds, they won't take up so 
much room but a tomato cage is a large obstacle for a pepper to grow under. 
And eggplant are big leaf plants also.
I planted basil in the centers of 4 tomato plants, staked the plants and 
pruned the interior limbs so they'd grow out, and I'm still having trouble 
keeping the basil from being too shaded.  These are 2' squares with a 
tomato in each corner. Thought I could get away with snipping the basil 
awhile before the tomato shaded them out, but it's not really working.

The lettuce:  I let my early lettuce bolt to seed. I like it, it's OP 
variety, and I wanted to save seed for next time. Normally by now it's no 
problem to get enough dry days to let the seeds dry on the stems. But, 
we've had cool temps and rain almost daily, and I don't know exactly when 
to pull the stalks to cure out the seed.
