You can not wait to pick your first Lettuce,and suddenly you have too many to eat and they are not so tasty if you try to store them.So what can you do................. When you have too many maturing at once pick them very carefully root soil and all and lay them in a shady place for an hour or two.Then replant them.This gives them a shock,and will slow them down for 5 to 7 days thus giving you time to catch up..The flavour and quality will not suffer but make sure to water them in well .All to the good if they lay over a little they will soon pick up,and you can stop giving away or wasting your beautiful plants
