Is my lettuce looking ok?

Having lost all my rocket, I'm keep to make sure the lettuce at least is healthy.

I'm misting daily, leaving it on the window sill once every couple of days for some direct sun. The rest of the time it sits in a south facing window

Does it look ok? what should I do with it next? Can I just leave it to grow now?
Is there adequate spacing between the plants?

Many thanks for your wisdom.

Nasturtiums look great! Lettuce looks ok. Perhaps a bit pale. I'm thinking they are not getting quite enough light, being down behind the sides of the planter. That will probably fix itself when they get bigger and grow up over the sides. For future reference, next time fill the planter all the way up, so your plants are sitting on top of it, not down in it, where they get shaded.

Yes, even lettuce benefits from full sunshine.

OK! Thanks all for the input. I'll put soil up to the rim next time!

Take a look at my avatar picture. That is one plant of Black-seeded Simpson Lettuce. The plants can get quite large. You can thin them though as they grow and use the thinnings.

goodness! That's bigger than my entire container!
