Astro Arugula

Spicy, nutty and delicious! Tolerates both heat and cold. Baby greens in 3 weeks! Direct seed in a row or block, around 1 seed/cm; lightly cover with soil. Seed mid-March to Sept.; staggered plantings will yield a continuous harvest. Can overwinter outdoors or under a coldframe. Harvest with scissors 2-5cm from the ground to allow greens to grow back. Large greens can be mixed with mustards for a tasty braising mix.

Latin: Eruca sativa
