I started growing rocket/arugula this summer for the first time and you're quite right it's easy to get going, but the trouble is it always seems to bolt and flower before the leaves get big enough to harvest. Any tips?<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Alexis in LondonAlexis Rowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13486964260737100728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-1148669941109409822006-05-26T13:59:00.000-05:002006-05-26T13:59:00.000-05:00Hi Stephanie,Oh you should definitely try growing ...Hi Stephanie,<BR/>Oh you should definitely try growing your own arugula. If you can't find seeds locally, you can mail order them. I have been happily ordering top quality, reasonably priced seeds from <A HREF="http://superseeds.com" REL="nofollow"><B>Pinetree Garden Seeds</A></B> for years. They sell a packet of 500 arugula (or 'roquette') seeds for 95 cents, item # W257.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://rareseeds.com" REL="nofollow"><B>Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds</A></B> (located right here in Missouri) is another company I highly recommend. They sell arugula and 'wild arugula' seeds which 'have a more pungent taste than regular arugula' and is 'an Italian favorite.' Item numbers are OG106 for the regular ($1.30) and OG107 for the wild ($2.00).<BR/><BR/>Both companies only charge a few dollars for shipping.<BR/><BR/>Hope this helps!Farmgirl Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851855517852917202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-1148662781940955412006-05-26T11:59:00.000-05:002006-05-26T11:59:00.000-05:00Oooh...I think I'm 'green' with envy!
