We've come to the final stage in the lettuce lifecycle... the bolt. You can see why it's called that. The lettuce gained height in a very very short amount of time. It bolted to gain the height it needed, and has started to grow flowers, which I have read, are going to be like "santa clauses" those puffy white flyaway type seeds. I will post photos soon as the flowers open or seeds erupt. :0) I'm letting these lettuces bolt because I want to grow the same type mixed with a mesculin mix next time. If I didnt want to do this, I would have just ripped them out and tipped the whole lot into the worm farm.
Happy Gardening!
