My spot gets direct and indirect sun. I plant at least four rows as well as at least four rows of different salad greens. In the meantime, buy those packs of arugala that they sell in Whole Foods..its reasonably priced for the amount and quality and is sometimes on sale. Toss with a vinaigrette, grated Italian cheese and toasted pine nuts. Whole Foods also has seeds.   Ond Citizen Username: Ond Post Number: 101 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Friday, March 31, 2006 - 1:56 pm:        You can harvest a little each day by cutting individual leaves rather than whole plants. After it bolts (when it gets hot out) it will become too bitter to eat. Let it go all the way to seed and then harvest the seed for the next round.   Alleygater Citizen Username: Alleygater Post Number: 1522 Registered: 10-2004 Posted on Friday, March 31, 2006 - 4:46 pm:        My in-law planted this super spicy Italian variety in our garden last year. Loved it. Very hearty and really thrived in (read took over) our garden. It totally withstood the heat and was tasty throughout the entire season. Never bitter. When leaves get more mature (bigger) they get sorta leathery though so pick them early and constantly throughout the season and enjoy.   Josh Holtz Citizen Username: Jholtz Post Number: 374 Registered: 4-2004 Posted on Friday, March 31, 2006 - 6:27 pm:        It's a v-e-g-e-t-a-b-l-e.
