I am growing Buttercrunch Lettuce in containers. How will I know when to
harvest, and exactly how do I harvest? Is this a lettuce that I can take a
few leaves from at a time and it will continue growing new growth throughout
the season or do I have to wait until it reaches a maturity? This is the
first time I have grown any types of lettuce, I've only grown cucs, squash,
toms, jal. peppers, herbs, garlic, onions before now. Thanks in advance!

Wait til the plants get 6 or 8" high, then pinch outer leaves off
to eat. The plants will keep growing. The outer leaves are older;
lettuce grows from the middle.

I put Red Sails and other lettuce in pots with pansies, for "edible
landscaping," next to the door of my house. (I eat the lettuce. The
pansies just look nice.)
