Planting and Growing Instructions
• Days to Maturity: Harvest in as little as 20-40 days, depending on desired leaf size.
• Planting Depth: Sow seeds 1/8 inch deep for optimal germination.
• Plant Spacing: Space plants 6 inches apart for proper growth or broadcast seeds in a wide row for baby greens.
• Days to Germination: Expect seedlings to emerge in 5-10 days with proper soil moisture.
• Sun or Shade: Prefers full sun but tolerates partial shade, especially in warmer climates.
• Sow Indoors or Directly Outdoors: Roquette Arugula is best sown directly outdoors in early spring or late summer for a fall harvest. For a head start, seeds can also be started indoors 3-4 weeks before the last frost and transplanted once soil temperatures reach 40-75°F.
Growing Tips for a Thriving Harvest
1. Soil Preparation: Ensure well-draining, fertile soil with a neutral pH (6.0-7.0). Incorporate compost or aged manure to boost soil health.
2. Watering Needs: Keep soil consistently moist, but avoid overwatering. Arugula thrives with even, moderate moisture.
3. Succession Planting: For a continuous harvest, plant seeds every 2-3 weeks.
4. Pest Management: Use floating row covers to protect young plants from flea beetles and other common pests.
5. Harvesting: Pick leaves when they are young and tender for the best flavor. Baby greens are ready in just 20 days, while mature leaves can be harvested at 40 days.
