How to prune corn salad

Harvest leaves as needed; pull bolted plants immediately. Pick outer leaves individually for a cut-and-come-again harvest, or cut the whole rosette at soil level. Once a flower stalk appears, remove the entire plant — corn salad does not recover usefully after bolting.

As needed for harvest; no pruning otherwise. Corn salad (mâche/lamb's lettuce) is a compact rosette annual that needs no pruning whatsoever. Harvest leaves as needed — this is the only 'pruning' required. If the plant bolts (sends up a flower stalk), pull it entirely rather than cutting back, as bolted leaves turn bitter and the plant will not re-produce useful foliage.
