Lisapizza's Lettuce planting
Lactuca sativa

I left the lettuce grow until it was about 4 feet tall! I had decided a while back that I wasn’t a fan of the bitterness, but the leaves still had a pretty color. And once the plants reached about four feet, they sprouted little flowers. Cool! Since October is almost here though, and the color of the leaves had changed from burgundy to a muddy brown, I pulled up the plants. Not sure if I’ll plant any next year.
