    In addition to what the other said, the leaves also get tough and bitter. Our first crop of lettuce went this way, now I’m doing a batch indoors since it’s still too hot.

      I like to plant my leafy greens inside an arch trellis, that way the squash and cucumbers shade the greens. My arugula is still trying to bolt but I can keep it pretty decent by topping it when I see it look like it’s heading that way.
