Growing Lettuce

View the Lettuce page

30 Dec 11 tammy (Australia - cool/mountain climate)
I have grown letuces for the first time and they are growing really well BUT each lettuce has 2 or 3 heads on it. There is the main one in the middle and they all either have another one or 2 heads growing off the side. they are beautiful and firm. IS THIS NORMAL, i have really good brown dirt in yard and added a bag of organic animal manure to soil 2 weeks before planting.
