This can be your earliest crop of lettuce.  Mine always tastes just fine.....lettuce is a hardy self-sowing annual.  Harvest young as a micro green and put new seed/plants in for the season.  (And then let a few plants drop seed for spring 2011.)

 Hello to the list!
 
A lettuce question:
 
Last year I had a section for buttercrunch lettuce, which was wonderfully tasty - and left some to go to seed in that section - which had carrots in it in the fall. Anyway, I was outside yesterday and noticed several volunteer plants...does anyone have experience with the quality and taste of these? Since they are so small I was hesitant to pinch off some - but wondered if I could expect the same taste?
 
Thanks!
Jaime in California
