Then it's time for thinning out: you leave the best seedlings and cut away the rest. It's tough to do, but it's necessary to let your plants grow healthy.
But once you've done that, you can simply enjoy your growing plants in the coming weeks.
This level is easy: just water them and occasionally remove any dead or yellow leaves. Very relaxing 🙂
Since the plants grow super fast, you can soon start harvesting small leaves from them.
Cut the outer leaves close to the ground or stem and leave the center of the plants, so they keep producing new leaves.
You'll also see flower stems popping up here and there. Cut those off right away, because they make the plants produce fewer leaves and the taste becomes sharper.
What do you use arugula for?
The medium-sized leaves are perfect with a warm dish. For example, as a topping for pizza fresh out of the oven.
As a rule of thumb, you can say that young arugula is delicious, then goes to tasty, then to okay, and then to not really edible. So it's up to you how long you want to harvest.
