I feel slightly less embarrassed now. <br /><br />Carol, I think they haven't bolted because every time I go out there, I just cut (yes, with a knife!) the top off of whole plants, leaving about an inch of growth and the roots. That's definitely what I should have done with rockets - there is quite a bit of bolted stuff there, and they all have to be removed (about 1/4 of the patch) and new seeds put in. Rockets are my favorite. <br /><br />Having said that, from next year I'm going to plant only purple or red lettuces. Because they are so much easier to distinguish from weed babies when both come out at the start!Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01350447919000146804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-31422149834219621562011-01-03T12:55:11.092+13:002011-01-03T12:55:11.092+13:00Your lettuce patch looks lovely, Meg, very lush.

Maybe you should weave something in lettuce green, maybe though that's not your colour.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01914350639398715648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-68632553775223066832011-01-03T09:45:38.734+13:002011-01-03T09:45:38.734+13:00I really like the lettuce patch idea.
