Two nights ago, we had our first Arugula salad of the season. It was perfect, fresh, and full of spice! Oh man it has a kick, just what I love about it. Arugula is just like any other leaf green, you can harvest the large leaves on the outside, and leave the smaller, younger leaves in the center for your salad next week. If you grow enough, you should be able to eat it every day and just rotate the plants you pick from. Also, arugula is an excellent re-seeder as well, as long as it is well established.

As for the rest of the garden, it's coming right along. Here is a look at how much it grew this week after 2 weeks torrential rain, and followed by a week in the mid-80's. That's what a garden calls love.

I had to start the carrots over, the rain got the best of them. They basically flooded, and I think the seeds rotted in the ground, well all but these 2 little guys. I laid some more seed down a week or so ago so the crop should start popping up soon with all this sun, but for now, this is all I've got.
