Default Lettuces

My cut and come again lettuces have been fantastic for months, really wide and bushy, however, they've just started to go 'leggy'.

Is this the natural progression to them finishing? Or is there anything I can do, i.e. snip the tops off?

I think its probably natural progression. You could cut them off at the base and see if they sprout again, but it sounds like they've done really well if they've been going for months.

Ok, just wasn't sure how long the cut and come again's went on for!!

I wonder if I seed a couple more how long they will take to come on. Might try this!
