Organic Butter Lettuce at Grand Lake

There's a lot more to see at the farmers' markets now that spring is in full swing, and some of the interesting things I saw this morning at the Grand Lake Farmers' Market in Oakland is this organic butter lettuce. Not only is it organic, but it sure is beautiful with its crimson tint. I've never seen butter lettuce so colorful and so big. They were piled onto this table draped in red cloth to match at this one farmer's stand. Time for some spring salad!
