Harvesting lettuce

My lettuce is a pretty good size now... how do I harvest it?  Do I pull up the entire head or can I just pick a few leaves? 

Re: Harvesting lettuce

  • Just pick a few leaves. It grows from the inside, so start from the outside discarding any that look nast. Or if you're making a big salad you can trim all but the last two inches and it will grow back.

    Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
  • I pull the outer few leaves from the larger romaines and butter crunches at first. then as the plants really take off. i cut the whole head. one at a time as i need it. still taking the outer leaves from plants i dont want to fully harvest yet.
