Little Gem lettuce - maybe growing a head?

So my problem with the little gem lettuce not growing according to plan, maybe me being a little too over eager for results.  This is how it is looking now, after 10 weeks.

Little Gem lettuce after 10 weeks

You can see the centre of the lettuce is closing up a little, and maybe, just maybe forming a small little gem lettuce head in the middle.  I'll just have to wait a little longer to see, thankfully despite eating lots of these and the Tom Thumb lettuce over the past few weeks, we still have loads left and so I can let these grow and grow without fear of them getting eaten before they reach maturity.


Remember to click on the "Little Gem Lettuce" link on the right of this page or directly at the bottom of this post to see week by week how the lettuce has grown from seed to the date of harvest.
