  Go to the Plant Conservatory of your municipality. There a horticulturist can identify what variety of lettuce you have after reviewing your pictures and getting additional info from you. If where you live doesn't have a Plant Conservatory, try to find out who orders/plants the plants in your town/city's flower beds and ask that person to help you.

  I'm pretty sure that's Bibb lettuce

  Thanks stoshstan - it's not green leaf lettuce going to seed though...it's always looked like this, plus the green leaf lettuce leaves are wider and in more of a head than this.

  Initially I thought it was buttercrunch too, but it's too dark and rounded - at least from the pictures that I found.

  mandypants - I just looked up Bibb, you might be on to something there!

  sagacit45 - good call, I'll have to try that too.

  btw - like I said, it doesn't grow in "heads"....so in that respect, I'm still leaning towards Jericho...
