Title: Re: [GWL] dumb, tired question
To everyone who answered this question.  Don't forget that we now have the organic garden list if you want to go in depth on this kind of gardening question.  Most of the GWL should be on that list, and all you have to do is write to  "Organic-Gardening" <organic-gardening@lists.ibiblio.org>

Why we don't like salad greens as they bolt:

Mostly because as the salad greens start to make seed the leaves become less
tasty, sometimes downright bitter. Especially true with lettuce, less so with
romaine, bad with mesclun since it's a miserable mixture of stuff that
spilled on the floor when the seed co was filling seed packets.

Some don't change--dandelions stay about the same, Swiss chard just gets
tough.
