    If your lettuce is growing in stalks, it has “bolted”. This is usually due to a lack of water and hot weather. They won’t be good to eat, so pull them up and start again. Don’t be disheartened – it happens to everyone!

    the above info is correct. But also keep in mind lettuce is a cool weather plant. It’s best to plant them in early spring, and again in the fall.
