So happy it’s finally getting cool and lettuce is coming up 😊, hi Mac I know is probably to many times saying this but sending lots of hugs and love 🥹
Sounds and looks good 😊 I’m sending hugs to Mac, too. He looks very dapper with his orange bandana.❤️🤗
And here I always thought that arugula had to be larger leafs before picking. No wonder my arugula always went to seed before I had a chance to harvest any. Definitely going to sow some. 😊
Will arugula grow in partial shade?
Good! Temps in the 70s to 40s here in the 831 Monterey bay inland. Arugula & Roquette already sprouted in seed tray! I would love to have a succession romaine + iceberg + greeens factory going this fall + winter. 🍂🥬
