Little Gem Lettuce Little Gem Lettuce I’m ready to pick A smaller-sized romaine lettuce – perfect for a salad! To pick: Remove leaves with a knife as required from the base in order to let the smaller leaves at the top of the plant continue to grow.If a flower stalk is growing, please leave the plant to go to seed so we can plant more next year. I took a minimum of ** days to be ready for harvest!Please be mindful that this garden is a shared space.Kindly only pick what you will consume at the time of harvest.
