After spending close to two dollars for a head of iceberg lettuce last week, it was nice to be able to harvest a head of romaine lettuce that had volunteered from last fall. I’ve found that by mixing this up with my store bought lettuce, I was able to more than double the amount of lettuce I had for salads.
There’s really no trick to getting cut-and-come-again lettuce. Just make sure to leave a little bit of leaves when you harvest the first time and often times the head will grow right back. That’s what happened this time to some romaine that was harvested last fall just before the onset of winter. Even with the really cold temperatures we experienced, the lettuce re-grew over the early spring months. Cool!
