Barb- I do the cut and come again.
I'm growing mostly Muir, which is our absolute favorite inside and outside, it is extremely slow bolting. I start in six packs with a soiless mix,the only reason I do that is because seeds don't germinate well in highly fertilized soil, there is one plant of Merlin,and one of hyper red rumple waved,just for color in our salads, they typically aren't as productive as muir.
You mentioned that you sowed really thick,is there some particular reason for that,I find that is usually the reason why people don't have very good success, I plant 4 or 5 seeds then thin to 1 when they are about 3/4" tall,and I space them at 12" apart because they get about 16 inches across. Here's a picture of some at 2/3rds grown,these are too close together, I was trying squeeze in more than I should, it never pays!
