Cut and come again romaine lettuce

Hello

Was wondering I have Chartwell romaine lettuce growing in the conservatory at the mo'.  

When seed packet says cut and come again where do you take the leaves from the outside or inside :?:

Do you wait until they are fully grown :?:

Thanks

Outside.  You can start picking as soon as they are "big enough" - as a general guideline, I'd never pick more than 20% of the plant.

Thanks for clearing that up.  They look so fresh and clean I can't wait to eat them and I don't even usually eat lettuce (yeah I know weird, fussy eater).

Well, if you've got plenty of them, you can always eat the whole plant whenever you want.  It just won't come again

that's the bit I was referring to WG!

   

Never tried that one Ziggy, but if I cut my cabbages off rather than pullig them out, I get little cabbages from the stumps!

Good thinking Ziggy,I wil try that this year.
