Harvesting

Basil: Start pruning leaves once your plant reaches 6 to 8 inches tall.; Harvest before the plant flowers for the best flavor.
Lettuce: Be sure to harvest before the plants bolt, as bolting negatively affects flavor and texture.; Young baby lettuce leaves can be harvested about 25 days after planting, while full maturity is usually reached in 50 to 60 days.

Storage

Lettuce: Store in an airtight container w/ paper towels?; Store in a loose container in the fridge?; Store in water w/ vinegar in the fridge?; Store in aluminum foil in the fridge?; Store in plastic wrap in the fridge?

Cut-and-Come-Again CCA: All the varieties that we identify as suitable for baby leaf production can be used for cut-and-come-again (CCA) growing systems, meaning they will regrow after the first harvest, provided the basal growing point of the plant is not damaged when the leaf stems are cut. The quality and quantity of the second cut are typically lower than the first.
One-Cut: One-Cut Lettuce One-cut is an industry term for a type of head lettuce grown to full-head size, but when cut at the plant base, the individual leaves separate, creating a final product similar to baby leaf lettuce. Some one-cut varieties are grown for a single harvest and others in a cut-and-come again fashion.
