Lettuce...
Curious question, what does lettuce look like when it seeds? I have never
seen a head of lettuce go to seed. Any idea where to go and see what it looks like? Thanks a bunch, Carol In WI |

Thanks a bunch, Carol In WI In my experience, lettuce "bolts," which means the heads start growing upwards with a stalk in the center. I think I've had it even go to seed after bolting. It'll still have leaves but it tends to get bitter as it bolts, which is what it does when the weather gets too warm. Come by my garden in July, and I'll show you some bolting lettuce. ;-) Priscilla -- "It is very, very dangerous to treat any human, lowest of the low even, with contempt and arrogant whatever.

Thanks a bunch, Carol In WI > The head opens up and a stalk "bolts" from the center. Tiny flowers (the ones I've seen are yellow or white) bloom at the top of the stalk, followed by small seed pods. On a related note, if your arugula bolts, as mine always has eventually, the leaves get too bitter, but the flowers are very tasty.
