   Hi Nyssa,   
      
   Oh that is red!   
   http://logicalinsight.net/images/redlettuce.jpg   
   How would you describe the taste?   
      
   What kind of soil does it like?  How much water does   
   it like?   
      
   Can I occasionally rip off some leaves, or should I   
   harvest the whole thing at once?   
      
   Does it grow back?   
      
   Many thanks,   
   -T
