Arugula
8 days to harvest microgreens
21 days to harvest for baby greens
40 days to harvest for braising greens
Eruca sativa
We hardly have a salad without her rich, nutty succulence! Overwintered with only row cover in the Finger Lakes, this Arugula has been selected for nearly a decade for significant cold hardiness, abundant and vigorous spring regrowth as well as mild flavor and disease resistance. Under hoops and floating row cover, we easily enjoying this mix throughout the winter when sown in September. Enjoy every bite!
