Lettuce... question...

I planted lettuce this year and it's growing quite nicely!
Question... when you pick it, do the leaves re-grow or is that the end of that plant?  I feel stupid for asking, but I have no clue?   I also don't want to pick it too soon, but feel it's getting close to time.

TIA!

Re: Lettuce... question...

  • Lettuce will regrow when you snip the leaves.

  • Eat the bigger, outer leaves - just snip them off near the base. It will keep growing.

  • It seems like it depends on what you're growing.  My head lettuce (buttercrunch) doesn't seem to regrow though if I don't cut the head close to the soil, the center leaves continue to grow. My greens (argula and mescluns) do re-grow a couple of times.

    It's my first time growing lettuce too, so this only what I've noticed happening in my veggie bed to date.

  • Just looks like the normal green leaf from the market. 

    Thanks! May test it this wkend...
