I adore arugula!
I won’t pay the prices they want for it here, though. That’s one of the 4 things i miss about California - the produce! You can’t beat the freshness and price of locally grown stuff.
So i planted some in September- and was thrilled to see how easily it grew! I just had the last of it a week ago. It lasted through several frosts. Next year i’ll get row covers and it might last until i can seed again.
I love arugula too! I can eat a bowl full of it.
Easy to plant, grows like a weed. When it’s warm you must keep eating or at least cutting before the plants bolt. So you can have salads daily. Tastier before it bolts, that is for,sure, so get out there every evening and cut.
