Re: Cutting Lettuce

I'm anxious to hear the response to your query regarding how to pick lettuce.
 I've been breaking off the outer leaves as I need them, and storing what I
don't use right away in dampened paper towels in the vegetable drawer in my
refrigerator.  The 'stored' lettuce leaves keep pretty well for four or five
days.  My plan is to continue to use the outer leaves and ultimately pinch
off the center section and then hopefully the plant will produce another
head.  I live in Seattle and first planted the lettuce in mid April.  We are
enjoying salads with the lettuce now and I will plant more shortly and see
how they do through May and June.  Don't have much experience but am hoping
to have a continuous crop of 'salad'.
