Broad, tender succulent leaves with excellent flavor for salads or for market. This is arugula mild and juicy enough that you can use lots in salad or cooking. Leaves are thick and juicy, almost like a spinach leaf in texture. Don't overlook arugula as a cooking green--it is great lightly sauted and tossed with pasta. Like all arugula, the flowers are also edible, though the plant gets stronger and tougher as it goes into flower. Beneficial insects, bees, and even butterflies love the flowers too. For leaves all summer, plant every couple of weeks, and sow in shade (to the nrth or east of tall plants like corn or tomatoes) once the soil gets hot. 200 seeds
