Organic Arugula Seeds

Days to Maturity: 50Once a rare delicacy, Arugula is now part of the American dinner table. But for what it costs at the fresh market, growing your own is the only sane option! It's a good thing it's so easy to grow—you can sow the seeds successively every 2 weeks all spring to guarantee yourself a big harvest over many months to come. With our certified organic seed, you can be assured of all-natural flavor and optimal performance from this gourmet green.This plant reaches about 2 1/2 feet tall and 1 foot wide, with leaves best cut at 2 to 3 inches long. Cut just what you need for the next meal; each leaf that is severed stimulates production of more foliage, so a single plant can keep producing over a long season. The flavor is so delectable when the leaves are young and tender—peppery and mustardy, with a palate-cleansing zing! Great in pesto, too—just don't let the leaves get too big, because they will lose their tender texture with maturity.Start seeds indoors 3 to 4 weeks before
