Default why my lettuce is almost 2 feet long

last year i started gardening for the first time, i growed lettuce,
seeds
were planted April, results were a complete disaster, i had almost 2

feet
lettuce .(cant remeber the scientific term)


temperature has been floating above 80's since almost 2 weeks, and some
lettuce(specailly Romaine) started doing the same thing as last year,

not 2
feet, but quiet long.


Lettuce is typically a cool season crop It does not like heat, which will
cause it to bolt. Are your plants flowering (a sure sign of bolting)?

Here is a brief article on the subject.
