    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Arugula perks up mixed salads with its nutty, peppery taste and makes a wonderful salad on its own combined with shaved Parmesan cheese. Astro has strap-shaped leaves, less deeply lobed than many, with a milder flavor. Slow to bolt, it still prefers the cold soil of early spring and fall. Resow at 2-3 week intervals from mid March through April and again in September. Harvest with scissors as a "cut and come again" crop.
