When harvesting lettuce and greens, harvest only the bottom leaves so the upper leaves can continue to grow. Eventually, you’ve got some weird looking tall plants but it sure saves on seeds and grow time.

Good tip! Also, I switched from growing kale to collards. I try not to use pesticides and my kale was getting thousands of cabbage loopers and nearly impossible to get out of the folds/wrinkles. In my experience, collards are nutrient dense, easy to grow, have smooth leaves and much easier to keep pests off of.
