Baby Leaf Arugula - Wild Wall Rocket

4000 seeds

🗓️ When to Sow

• Outdoors (Best):

  • Early spring (2–4 weeks before last frost)

  • Fall sowing is also excellent — arugula prefers cool weather

• Succession planting: Sow every 2–3 weeks for a continuous harvest

🌱 How to Sow Outdoors

1. Site Selection

   • Full sun to partial shade (partial shade helps extend harvest in warm climates)

   • Loose, well-draining soil rich in organic matter

2. Sowing

   • Row sowing:

     • Sow seeds ¼ inch (6 mm) deep

     • Space rows 6–8 inches (15–20 cm) apart

   • Broadcast sowing (for baby leaves):

     • Scatter seeds evenly and rake lightly into soil

3. Watering

   • Keep soil consistently moist during germination

   • Water regularly to prevent bolting (especially in warm weather)

4. Germination

   • Occurs in 5–10 days

   • Ideal soil temperature: 10–20°C (50–68°F)

🌿 Growing Notes

• Harvest:

  • For baby leaves, start harvesting when plants are 2–4 inches tall (about 21–28 days after sowing)

  • Use scissors to cut leaves, leaving the crown intact for regrowth

• Spacing:

  • Thin seedlings to 1–2 inches apart if harvesting mature heads

• Pests:

  • Watch for flea beetles and aphids; use row covers if needed

• Bolting:

  • In hot weather, arugula may bolt quickly — harvest young and often

✅ Quick Tips
