- Leaf lettuce is harvested leaf-by-leaf (as opposed to the whole head at a time like head lettuces or cabbages) when outer leaves reach 4″ – 6″ long; harvest outer leaves first; repeat as the rest of the leaves grow VG
- Head lettuces should be pulled up from the ground entirely when they feel firm and before any flower stalks show up VG
