is there anyone here who harvests prickly lettuce in their yard or anywhere else? i have what im 99% sure is prickly lettuce, i just want to be 100% sure. the leaves are prickly on the under side along the stem, and when i tear a leaf into pieces white stuff comes out. i want to put prickly lettuce in green smoothies and some salads. someone help me out please! thanks

    hmmmm… well the plant isnt hairy, it just has the prickles on the underside of the stem. its about 3 – 3.5 feet tall. ugh i wish i had an expert here to tell me for sure! then id be all over them! grrr

    hmmm perhaps i do! it was interesting, today i was picking kale out of my garden and i noticed another plant just a few feet away from the other prickly lettuce plant and it looked exactly the same EXCEPT, the main stalk was COVERED with fuzz and so were the leaves! but the other one isnt hairy AT ALL! just the prickles on the underside of the leaves. im perplexed =/
