Several types of lettuce fill this chinampa in San Gregorio Atlapulco. Note also the ahuejote/willow trees (trimmed into this characteristic shape) and grass lining most of the fields in this view. Formerly, most farmers used canoes that were much narrower than the one seen in the canal on the right.. Today, many of the canals are allowed to become overgrown with grass and reeds as farmers increasing rely on wheelbarrows and bicycles for transportation.
