Grows best in full sun. Harvest: The smallest leaves are tender and delicious as baby lettuce in salads. Make use of these leaves when thinning young plants in the garden. As the plants grow, you can harvest the outer leaves only, leaving the inner leaves to grow. Or, you can remove the entire plant if you desire a head of lettuce. By cutting the plant at the base and leaving the roots to grow, new leaves will sprout for a cut-and-come-again quality. *Note: Lettuce is best when harvested in the morning. Harvest before plants bolt, once flowered the lettuce will become bitter and you won't want to eat it anymore. Lettuce will typically go dormant when temps reach 75F and above.
