Arugula

This is an easy one…simply transplant into well drained soil in a sunny area, setting them around 6” apart.

Keep them weeded and watered and they should produce well for you. Harvest the leaves as small or large as you prefer although the baby leaves will be milder. The plants will tend to bolt in hot weather.

It is very common for flea beetles to chew tiny holes in the leaves. This won’t affect the flavour at all but if the appearance bothers you then try growing these plants under a lightweight floating row cover. We tried this and were rewarded with perfect flawless delicious leaves.
