One of the things I enjoy most about gardening is the opportunity to use one's creativity. I think you enjoy it, too, from what I can tell about the various things you've done with gardening, including that very creative book of yours.
Now this toppling-avoidance innovation is quite interesting. At first I didn't quite understand it, but combining your pics with the Top/Middle/Last, I see what you are doing.
I think you'll do well with the lettuce idea and here's why. I used to have a large nursery as a client. The three owners were very skilled home gardeners themselves. One of them told me the "real" reason lettuce doesn't grow in the summer, and it's not what most people think. It's shade! Yes, it just needs a bit of protection from the hot sun. The tomato leaves should give enough of that.
I have an idea for you on the discipline, too, but I have to go to class now. Later...
