The message ws.net
from "Oxymel of Squill" contains these words:

why do my lettuces grow enormously long stalks with the odd leaf
here n there, rather than making big chunky hearts?


They're under stress (too crowded, or inadequate soil, or too hot
or dry, or all of these), so bolting to seed prematurely. All lettuce
do it eventually, yours are just having a nervous breakdown and doing
it too fast and too soon.

I know how they feel... I think I bolted years ago....
