Growing Arugula Seeds

Sow these seeds as early in the spring as the soil is workable, following the spacing provided. When seedlings are 2-3 inches tall, thin plants to 3-4 inches apart. These plants grow rapidly and steadily. Keep in mind that the leaf flavor gets more pungent with warm weather and less irrigation. To achieve optimum growth and flavor, sow seeds early while temperatures are still cool in loose, well-composted soil. Keep the soil evenly moist.

GROWING

This particular variety of arugula thrives in warm summer climates and is resistant to bolting. Bolting, which alters the texture and flavor of the leaves, occurs when a plant begins to produce seeds.

CONTAINERS : For optimal results, consider growing this type of vegetable in a container garden. Simply sprinkle a small amount of seeds in a pot and place them near your window or patio for convenient harvesting.

Arugula can be grown in the early summer season to fill up extra space while waiting for larger and more mature plants, such as pumpkins, to fully develop. This efficient use of space is beneficial for maximizing plant growth.

Harvesting 

Harvest the arugula seeds, also known as rocket, in as little as 25 days for baby leaves or wait up to 45 days for larger leaves. You can choose to harvest the whole plant or pick individual leaves.
