Arugula

If you love a peppery kick in your salads, arugula deserves a spot in your garden. It’s one of the fastest things you can grow, ready to harvest in as little as three weeks, which makes it perfect for impatient gardeners and kids who want to see quick results. Arugula loves cool weather, so it’s a great pick for early spring and fall gardens when a lot of other vegetables are just getting started or already winding down. It also happens to be one of the easiest greens to let go to seed and grow again on its own, so once you plant it, you may find it popping up in your garden for years to come. Below you’ll find our tips for growing arugula successfully, from planting through harvest.
