Arugula

Arugula is one of my favorite greens. While we grow it successfully in the spring, it is even better in the fall. That's because the increasingly cool nights give the green that distinctive peppery bite that makes it so delicious. As you can see from this picture, this new batch of arugula is doing well with less insect damage than the crop I planted nearby. We will continue to harvest arugula well into October as it can tolerate several degrees of frost. In fact, I have harvested it some years until Christmas and even under patches of snow!
