Default Can anything be done about plants "bolting"?

We had a hot early spring this year in Western Canada and my sorrel
and lettuce are already bolting, sending up a tall stem with the
flowers & seeds.
If I cut off the flower-stem, will the lower part of the plant start
producing more (edible) leaves again or is it true that once a plant
has bolted that the days of good-eatin' greens is over?

Luckily, I still have my Spinach & Chard coming up...but still
the first week of June seems way to early to give up on my
delicious lemon sorrel. :-(
