Arugula
Arugula leaves bring a peppery taste. Eat alone or add to mixed salads. Its zesty leaves can also be used for pesto. The greens create a culinary treat that needs nothing more than a splash of olive oil and lemon, and maybe a bit of pepper. Arugula is also know as Rocket.
Harvest Arugula greens in the morning or evening. For the crispiest leaves harvest when leaves are dry. Younger leaves have a milder flavor than older ones. When harvesting cut the outer leaves first, leaving the center stalk and smallest new leaves. Cut the leaves at the base of the stalk.
Plant in full sun. In containers plan in good potting soil, in the ground amend soil with compost or other organic matter. Fertilize with an organic, we use Garden-Tone or Starter with Bio-Tone.
