How to Sow
When sowing arugula, remember that it germinates very easily and well, so scatter the seeds thinly. Cover lightly with no more than 5mm of soil or growing medium and keep moist.
How to Harvest
Snip off the older leaves using a sharp scissors, there’ll soon be more where that came from! Stop harvesting when they begin to flower as the leaves develop a bitter taste.
