How to Plant Arugula from Seed

When to Plant Seeds

  • Early spring (as soon as the soil is workable) or late summer to early fall for a second harvest.
  • In mild climates, it can be grown year-round.

Preparing the Planting Site

  1. Choose a sunny to partially shaded location.
  2. Loosen the soil to a depth of 6-8 inches and remove weeds.
  3. Mix in compost or aged manure for improved fertility.

Sowing Seeds Outdoors

  1. Scatter seeds ¼ inch deep and 1 inch apart in rows or broadcast them for a wild patch.
  2. Cover lightly with soil and water gently.
  3. Expect germination within 5-7 days, depending on temperature and moisture.
  4. Thin seedlings to 3-6 inches apart to encourage larger, healthier leaves.

Caring for Young Plants

  • Water consistently but avoid waterlogging.
  • Use row covers to protect from pests.

Pro Tip

When Harvesting

For Fresh Leaves:
Pick individual leaves or cut the entire plant just above the base.
Harvest as needed for continuous regrowth.

For Seeds:
Allow some plants to flower and develop seed pods.
Once pods dry, collect and store seeds for future planting.

Getting to know your Arugula

Arugula is a fast-growing leafy green in the Brassicaceae family, known for its peppery, slightly bitter flavor. It thrives in cool temperatures and grows well in full sun to partial shade. The plant reaches maturity in just 30-40 days and is often harvested young for tender leaves. Arugula produces lobed, deep green leaves and small white flowers when it bolts in warm temperatures. It prefers well-drained, nutrient-rich soil and requires consistent moisture to prevent bitterness. Popular in salads, sandwiches, and pesto, arugula is rich in vitamins A and K. Succession planting allows for a continuous harvest throughout the growing season.

What it's used for

1. Culinary Uses:

  • Arugula is commonly used in salads, pasta, sandwiches, and pizzas.
  • It can be lightly sautéed, blended into pestos, or used as a garnish.
  • Young leaves have a mild, nutty flavor, while mature leaves are spicier.

2. Nutritional Benefits:

  • Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, folate, and antioxidants.
  • Contains beneficial compounds that support digestion, heart health, and immunity.

3. Medicinal & Herbal Uses:

  • Traditionally used to support digestion and detoxification.
  • Its natural compounds have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.

4. Companion Planting & Soil Health:

  • Helps repel certain pests and attracts beneficial pollinators.
  • Used in crop rotation to improve soil quality and reduce disease risks.
Growth Requirements

Light:

  • Prefers full sun to partial shade (at least 4-6 hours of sunlight daily).
  • Grows well in cooler temperatures, making it ideal for spring and fall planting.

Soil:

  • Thrives in well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0.
  • Adding organic compost improves soil structure and fertility.

Watering:

  • Requires consistent moisture, especially during warm weather.
  • Avoid overwatering, as waterlogged soil can lead to root rot.

Temperature & Climate:

  • Prefers cool temperatures between 50-70°F (10-21°C).
  • Bolts quickly in hot weather, so summer planting should be avoided in warm climates.

Fertilization:

  • Apply balanced compost or organic fertilizers before planting.
  • Too much nitrogen can lead to excessive leaf growth and reduced flavor.
Maintenance

Watering:

  • Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy.
  • Water early in the morning to reduce fungal risks.

Mulching:

  • Apply a thin layer of mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Harvesting:

  • Harvest young leaves at 2-4 inches tall for the best flavor.
  • Regular harvesting encourages continuous growth.

Preventing Bolting:

  • Provide shade in warmer months to delay flowering.
  • Harvest leaves frequently to extend the growing period.
Pests and Diseases

Pests:

  • Aphids & Flea Beetles – Control with neem oil or insecticidal soap.
  • Slugs & Caterpillars – Handpick pests or use natural deterrents like diatomaceous earth.

Diseases:

  • Downy Mildew & Powdery Mildew – Improve air circulation and avoid overhead watering.
  • Root Rot – Prevent by using well-draining soil.
