Roquette Arugula: The Rebel Rocket of the Garden

🌱 Ah, Roquette Arugula—also known as rocket. Not because it launches into space (though it practically could), but because it grows so fast you’ll swear it’s caffeinated. This leafy green is peppery, punchy, and not here to play nice with bland salads.

Step 1: Pick a Launch Pad

Arugula likes cool weather and full sun to part shade. Plant it in spring or fall—if it’s too hot, it’ll bolt faster than a toddler with a juice box. Find a spot that says, “I’m here to grow and complain about the heat.”

Step 2: Seed the Need

Sow seeds directly in the soil about 1/4 inch deep, 1 inch apart. You can be neat and orderly... or just sprinkle them like you're seasoning a cast iron skillet. Either way, arugula doesn’t judge—it just grows.

Step 3: Water Responsibly

Water regularly, but don’t drown it. Arugula likes its soil like its attitude—moist but not clingy. Keep it consistent, or it might get bitter and bolt out of spite.

Step 4: Watch It Go Wild

In just 3–4 weeks, you’ll be harvesting like a backyard Gordon Ramsay. Baby leaves are mild. Older leaves pack a peppery punch to the taste buds—perfect for waking up your taste buds or surprising your unsuspecting guests.

Step 5: The Great Bolt Escape

As soon as the weather gets hot or the plant thinks life is too stressful, it bolts—sending up flowers and shouting, “I’m done!” Let it happen. The bees love the blooms, and you can collect seeds for your next round of roguish greens.

🧨 Pro Tip:

Harvest early and often. Don’t be shy. Arugula is the friend that thrives on attention and occasional snipping.

Grow Roquette Arugula. Eat it fresh. Feel fancy. Spice up your life one bite at a time.
