Sowing Info

When to Sow Outside: 2 to 4 weeks before your average last frost date, when soil temperature is at least 40°F; ideally 50°-70°F. Successive Sowings: Every 2 weeks until 2 weeks before your average first fall frost date.

When to Start Inside: RECOMMENDED. Sow indoors any time of year, with indoor temperatures 60°-75°F. Successive Sowings: Every 2 weeks for a continual supply. Transplanting baby greens is not recommended because they are so quick to harvest. Transplanting will slow growth and may cause plants to bolt (prematurely flower).

Days to Emerge: 10–15 days

Seed Depth: ⅛"–¼"

Seed Spacing: ¾"

Thinning: Not required.

Growing Info

Harvesting: When seedlings emerge, the first pair of leaves to show are the cotyledons, which can look very different from the leaves that follow, called "true" leaves. Arugula baby greens are ready to harvest 20 to 28 days after sowing, when they have true leaves at 2"-4". Cool growing temperatures may slow germination and growth. For the freshest and most healthful baby greens, harvest them directly from their growing container as needed by cutting just above the soil line. For more than one harvest (up to 3 before flavor declines) leave about 1/2" of leafy growth on the small plants so they can regenerate.

    I will not be planting these seeds until Spring due to

    potential freezing weather here on the mountain.

    This arugula is truly amazing. This was my first year gardening, and this arugula really gave me confidence!! Almost all of it sprouted after literally two days, and it never stopped growing! I just started some more inside and, again, all of it sprouted after two days.In addition to sprouting quickly, it's DELICIOUS! We had a very hot summer so it was really spicy, which I love. It mellowed out a lot in the fall, but remained extremely flavorful.I will forever refer to this as the magic arugula.

    These baby arugula greens grow fast and keep coming back for more cuttings. Good flavor too. I grow them under lights all winter long.
