Harvesting and Storing Lettuce. Harvest looseleaf lettuce by 2 methods. The best way is to start picking the outer leaves of each plant when they get to be 2 to 3 inches long. Continue picking this way for 4 to 6 weeks until the plant goes to seed (the flower spike grows up out of the center--also called âbolting.â).
