Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my lettuce turn bitter and shoot up a stalk?
That's bolting, and heat is the main trigger. Several days above 85°F cause lettuce to form a seed stalk, and the leaves turn bitter as it does. Sowing in early spring and again in late summer, giving plants afternoon shade, and choosing slow-bolting varieties all help extend your harvest before it happens.
How do I harvest lettuce so it keeps growing?
With loose-leaf types, pick the outer leaves and leave the center intact, and the plant will keep producing for weeks. For heading types like romaine and butterhead, cut the whole head at the base once it feels firm. Harvest in the morning when leaves are crisp and cool, and rinse and refrigerate soon after for the longest shelf life.
How much space does lettuce need, and can I grow it in containers?
Lettuce is well suited to containers. A single head does well in a 6-inch pot, and in larger containers plants can be spaced on 10-inch centers. Loose-leaf and baby-leaf types can be sown more thickly and cut young, so even a windowsill box or a small raised bed can produce a steady supply of salad.
