With a strong, excellent flavor, this arugula is extra cold hardy, vigorous, and genetically diverse. Along with their Mizuna Landrace and many other tasty greens, Ice-bred Arugula is an essential part of Tobacco Road Farm's ever-popular Spicy Salad Mix.  In 1989, Brett Grohsgal of Even Star Organic Farm in Eastern Shore, Maryland bred this open pollinated landrace from two Dutch strains of arugula and selected for cold hardiness. Tobacco Road Farm in Lebanon, Connecticut has been growing these spicy greens every winter for nearly a decade, continuing to select for winter hardiness in even colder conditions. For winter growing, we plant in November and cover with hoops and plastic row covers until the warmth of spring. The photo above shows a late-spring planting of arugula at Tobacco Road Farm, and how their natural farming and soil building practices produced an early June crop with no flea beetle damage.  Days to maturity: 21-44 Seeds per pack: 200 Germination rate: 90% on 09/16/202
