Arugula is a fast-growing crop that can quickly go from sowing, to harvesting, to the kitchen to provide a kick for many dishes. It is a really versatile and easy-to-grow herb that is perfect for kitchen gardens, herb gardens, or in pots on a deck or balcony.
As for when to harvest arugula, the ideal time is around 30 to 40 days after planting; the baby leaves can be picked when they reach only a couple of inches in length. Timing is key though – leave it too long and the leaves will start to turn bitter.
