It gets high in the center of the plant - develops a bit of a stalk and once it's really gone there should be flowers at the top of it. You can still eat it but it just won't taste as good.Just Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15008462659487802315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3268559567958002671.post-86797941778665113722009-06-19T10:27:42.852-07:002009-06-19T10:27:42.852-07:00I have a couple of small lettuces out there, I don...I have a couple of small lettuces out there, I don't know how they will be after the past day or two since it has hit the 90's. I don't know what kind they are though, it was a mixed package. How do you know when they are getting ready to bolt? This is my first lettuce planting. They were a little slow starting and behind!Shawn Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16242486533549946479noreply@blogger.com
