help with lettuce

[Bego]

I have some lettuce plants and they are quite successful...(perhaps too much??) they are growing high, let's say after I replant them they are about 30 cm... but with one leave each 5 cm... and they keep going up...
I wanted to enjoy some salad from my own garden...
Anyway, I need some help/tips ideas??
Thanks!

I've moved your thread out of Growing Techniques into an appropriate board.

Many Thanks

Hard to be 100% certain without a variety name or a photo but it sounds to me as if your lettuces have bolted. This is quite common, especially if they get too hot / dry / stressed.
You can still eat the leaves but I would so some more seed as well for your next crop.
