A remainderman is a person who inherits or is entitled to inherit property upon the termination of the estate of the former owner. Usually this occurs due to the death or termination of the former owner's life estate, but this can also occur due to a specific notation in a trust passing ownership from one person to another. For example, if the owner of property makes a grant of that property to John for life, and then to Jane, Jane is entitled to a future interest, called a remainder, and is termed a remainderman.
Harvest the seeds by cutting off the stalks and bringing them indoors. Then hang the stalks upside down for a day indoors and out of the sun to dry. Shake the flowers for the seeds to drop. If they don't drop, rub the flowers with your hands until the seeds separate from the flowers. Store lettuce seeds in a sealed container and place it in the refrigerator to plant in the spring or summer. Garden hand clippers.
The leaves become bitter and the plants begin to bolt as the stem elongates into a tall bloom stalk. Leaf lettuce varieties take about 40 days from seeding to harvest while head types may take 70 days. This is another reason the head types are more of a challenge. To get more from your garden space, consider interplanting your lettuce with slower maturing crops.
