I let my lettuce bolt last year. Chopped it in fall before I threw into compost tumbler. In early spring, I found volunteer little lettuce-lings at the three-leaf stage where I had chopped it up. Moved them to a bed and they did just fine. (Pretty sure it was Tropicana lettuce variety, btw.)

Big lesson: Let stuff bolt in summer/fall. Chop up in different areas just before putting into composr. Look for volunteers in those areas in very early spring.
