Explanation:
and without any form of checking, I imagine this is "going to seed", when the lettuce abandons its roundish shape and shoots up, producing seeds.

premature bolting, which, applied to a door, is the opposite of locking the stable door after the horse has bolted but, in the case of the horse, is not.

This non-heading lettuce comes in a variety of leaf shapes and colors. This type is best for the home gardener because it can withstand hotter temperatures and is slower to BOLT (go to seed) than most.

Do we all know about the carpenter dog?

It's that breed that does a few odd jobs about the house, then makes a bolt for the door.
