Harvesting Romaine Lettuce

When harvesting lettuce it's always best to harvest in the morning. By doing so it helps retain its crisp sweetness. You have a few options when it comes to harvesting lettuce. You can harvest the whole plant or use the cut and grow method. As your Romaine lettuce grows, you can harvest leaves as needed by gently removing the leaves by pulling them off. You can also cut the plant leaving a few inches from the soil and the lettuce will begin to regrow from the center. You can harvest lettuce for most of the growing season until the main stem starts to grow. This is referred to as bolting. Once this happens the leaves will start to become bitter. As mentioned previously, for a continuous crop of Jericho Romaine Lettuce, plant new seeds every 2 weeks.
