Part of the weeks harvest for Parts. In the full heat of summer the lettuce mixes are cut down while they are baby greens, before they have a chance to bolt. Bolting occurs when the plant has realized that it wont survive in the current climate (lettuce hates the heat), and so it puts all of its energy into making babies. The plants will discourage predation/snacking during this special time by turning tough and bitter, and the center stalk will "bolt," up skyward to produce a flower and eventually seeds. 
When lettuce goes to seed it morphs from a chubby ball into a 2 foot high swirling tower. Despite how attractive these tango dancers can be, we're going to keep cutting them down before they have the chance, and so you can have your salad!
Whether you are renting or buying a house, finding furniture that suits your budget and liking is the most tricky part. The most considered features are the style and functionality of the furniture.
