For A Continuous Harvest, Plant A New Crop Every 2-3 Weeks Until The Heat Of Summer; Arugula Tastes Best When Grown As A Spring Or Fall Crop, Since Excess Heat Causes Bitterness In The Leaves. For A Fall Crop, Plant The Eruca Sativa Seeds In Late Summer. Arugula Also Grows Well As A Container Plant, Or Throughout The Winter In A Greenhouse Or Cold Frame. | Growing: Arugula Can Tolerate Light Frost, But If Heavy Frost Comes, Provide Protection For The Plant. Keep The Soil Moist, And Apply A Layer Of Mulch To Conserve Moisture And Discourage Weeds. Watch Out For Aphids And Other Insect Pests. | Harvesting: The First Leaves Can Be Harvested About Two Or Three Weeks After Planting, When They Reach 2-3" Long. The Smaller Leaves Have A More Tender Texture And Delicate Flavor Than The Larger Leaves, Which Can Be Quite Peppery And Intense In Flavor; Cut The Leaves Just Above The Soil, Removing The Outer Leaves First. By The Time The Plant Develops Flowers The Leaves May Be Too Bitter To Eat, Though The Flowers Are Also Edible And Make An Excellent Garnish. The Harvested Leaves Quickly Lose Their Freshness And Should Be Used Within About 6 Days. Before Storing Them, Rinse The Leaves Thoroughly To Remove Any Sand And Dry Them Well. They Can Be Stored In The Refrigerator Until Ready To Use. | Seed Saving: Watch The Developing Arugula Seed Pods Carefully, Since They Explode When They Are Completely Mature. Remove The Pods As Soon As They Are Brown And Nearly Dry, And Spread Them To Finish Drying In A Protected Location; Keep In Mind That They May Need To Be Covered To Prevent Losing The Seed When The Pods Explode. Remove Debris From The Arugula Seeds And Store In A Cool, Dry Place For Up To Four Years.
