No one is happier....

UPDATE:

Everyone began drooping when I brought them outside. I'm making them tough it out though. It's been a few hours and I note that there has been a little improvement. The beans and some of the lettuce is definitely perking up.

No one is happier than my Red Sails lettuce is today and their Blue Lake Bush bean roomates:

Now, that everyone is starting to get bigger, I'm wondering if I was unwise to plant them together. My thinking when I put them together was that it would be OK because they both have shallow roots (beans  lettuce). The beans required planting of 2" to 4" apart. The lettuce needed to be planted 8" apart. One problem for my beans could be that since they have delicate roots, close planting can cause root injury. My thinking was that the shallow lettuce roots might not damage the bean roots.
I'm starting to learn that gardening can be a trial and error process, so I guess I'll learn.

My big question of the day is when exactly does my red sails lettuce turn red. My is mostly green still. A quick Internet check indicates that my lettuce may not be getting enough light. Green leaves photosynthesize easier than do red, so the lettuce won't turn red unless it gets enough light.

I'm so tempted to bring my lettuce outside. It's May 6 and the weather is getting warmer. I've been told to keep it in until May 15. Any thoughts?

I decided to bring them outside. I hope they are happy in their new very sunny spot on the balcony.

Their new home on the balcony. I put them near
the rail so the beans can climb.
