Arugula Seeds - Roquette Arugula Heirloom Seeds

Arugula Seeds- Rocket (Roquette) Arugula Seeds Plant Basics: Days to Harvest: 40 days Size: 12-18in tall, 2in wide Plant Depth: 1/4 inch Spacing: 4-6in plants, 15in rows Sun: Full sun Germination: 7 days Rocket Arugula has tender rounded leaves with a bold texture and peppery flavor. It's a favorite for gardeners as it's slow to bolt and easy to grow. It can be enjoyed alone as a salad, added to other greens, or as a garnish on pizza and other dishes. Arugula prefers cool weather but seeds can be sown any time. Sow every two weeks to enjoy a season-long crop. Best harvested young, after about 35 days. Growing Instructions: 1) Direct sow: In spring as soon as soil can be worked or in early fall when temperatures cool. Plant seeds seeds 1/4 inch deep about 1-2 inches apart in rows 15in apart. Keep soil evenly moist but not overly wet. Thin to one plant every 4-6in when seedling is about 3in tall. 2) Transplant: Start seeds indoors in spring around 3-4 weeks before last frost date. Plant 1/4 inch deep in starting mix in a container or tray. Cover the container with lid or loosely with plastic to retain moisture. Place in a warm spot. (Placing heating mats under plants helps speed up germination time.) After seeds germinate, remove plastic covering and continue to keep soil moist but not overly wet. Grow lights are a good addition at this point, especially if seedlings do not receive a lot of direct sunlight. Keep plants as close to grow lights as possible but not closer than 2-3 inches. Move plants to larger containers after they've grown 2 sets of true leaves. At this point, I like to use a tabletop fan pointed at the plants help prepare them for outdoor conditions. About 1-2 weeks before you plan to transplant outdoors, start to harden the plants off by placing them outside. Start in the shade for an hour or two and extend the time each day, gradually exposing them to more sunlight, until they can be left outside for several hours in direct sunlight. Transplant after threat of frost has passed and soil temp is around 60-65 degrees.
