Cassandra lettuce

It is becoming more apparent to me that some varieties of lettuce grow exceptionally well hydroponically.

This particular plant, Cassandra, was started from seed on 11/20/2008, and on 1/3/2009 it is almost ready to harvest. Of course, individual leaves could have been taken from the plant while it has been growing.

The leaves on this plant are very soft to the touch, and I am guessing that it is going to be very tasty indeed!
