Lovely lettuce

[wizzbang]

I grew some cut and come again mixed lettuce in a shallow terracotta plant pot holder. Its a big one and the lettuce has grown brilliantly. None of my family have been home apart from the odd day for weeks and If I don't do something with it it is going to fall over and die and be wasted.
Shall I plant each individual little plant outside? Will they grow into proper lettuce with solid hearts if I do that?

Eat the outer leaves and use continuously or pot them on if you can separate the roots.......you can chop them right back and they will grow again.....well done!

Ok thank you. There is nobody here to eat it so I will pot them on and see how they do. I would like to put them in the kitchen garden though not in pots. What do you think? Worth a go?

Nooooooooo,keep them under cover until the risk of frost is well past

Thinking on a bit Wizz,you could plant them in one section of the cold frame,lid open in the day & closed at night

That's a good idea BB!
I might have a go. Same with my raddish.
My cucumbers have just had their first proper leaves so Its all singing and all dancing with them. Nice and healthy.
