I made my first lettuce harvest today! Here's what the lettuce pot looked like before dinner. A few heads had leaves there were big enough to eat. :) Twelves leaves to be exact! We also had 2 ripe strawberries. Which, of course, is not enough for a salad. Unless you are a rabbit. So I supplemented with a petite head of red lettuce from Farmer's Market. The leaves tasted very tender and the frilly one has a spicy kick to it. Not spicy like a jalapeno, but it tastes piquant. (Btw, David just taught me that word!)

:-) You only need a few leaves of these since they're so flavorful. The taste reminds me of arugula. Maybe it's closely related.
