they are trying to shoot to seed.
tbh, the varieties i grow stand for quite some time - and while they start growing lengthways they dont get bitter or anything, so i just have them when i can, seems fine.

Thanks for that info Tinkie_Bear and Svea I didn’t realize they had bolted, ???
I have to say Tim a lot of your posts of late are aimed at the more experienced growers as your titles tell us novices little of what you are talking about, so consequently we can’t join in. :-\
Sorry but I do enjoy reading your posts when I can understand them. ;D

Without wishing to sound like I am siding with anyone, I agree with Katy. And I consider myself very much a novice ...

A bit harsh there Roy. This is called "Allotments for All", not "Allotments for Beginners". If you don't like someone's threads, don't read them.
One of the great things about this site is the relaxed, generally un-moderated feel. I think most people here are very much themselves, which isn't the case in a lot of other forums. I don't think it's particularly helpful to tell people what or what not to post, unless it's intentionally offensive or abusive and it's hard to take offense at a piccie of a lettuce, even if the lettuce is going to seed.
Tim - I like your threads.

oh! I'm growing Pandero for the first time this year (red little gem) and they look nowt like that - mind you they are tiny. Your leaves still look edible, though a nuisance to take off ...? I might be tempted to mulch me outdoor toms with them ;)

My allotment neighbour continually tells me that there are very few gardeners who can grow lettuce successfully through July and August. Just to reinforce that point, I have had zero success this year with lettuce, a combination of slugs, drought and bolting.
Red little gem eh? Sounds fabulous ...

Don't feel bad Tim, my lettuces all bolted in a matter of minutes, it seemed. And then I also had a juvenile fox "watering" them! ;D I'm not sure what the secret to successful lettuce in July/August is but if anyone knows, please share!

my little gems, bronze arrowhead and pak-choi all bolted, still the positive side is that I should be able to harvest some seeds and the ducks are loving them! ;D ;D

Thanks for kind words.
Correction
.
I do NOT
just speak my mind.
I try to establish the full detail of a problem & then, with research where necessary, give the best answer that I can.
My aims are:
First - to offer ideas for those with problems.
Second - to seek help on
my
problems from the world of wisdom out there.
Third - to have a chuckle along the way.
'Still eat the leaves'?? Where's the 'heart' in that!!
