The leaf lettuce will grow QUICK! Just harvest buy cutting off some of the leaves of the plant. Yes it will regrow. Ours is nice til it gets SUPER hot, then it will bolt and be bitter.
Aw, Jacquie, your garden is BEAUTIFUL! I would love to have a green house someday. Right now just a fenced in a rea to keep the deer out!
Thank you so much for answering me! I'm going to try it this year.

Does it always need to be moist? or is rain sufficient?
