You can cut the outer, larger leaves, and the inner ones will grow bigger and you'll have another harvest in under a week.

OR, if the plants are growing very close together, then cut some down to the base (but don't cut the base off -- this will regrow) and the ones that are left will have more room to grow, thus increasing your harvest as well.

Correct -- don't pull them up.
No dumb questions!
