Harvesting: Arugula is a cut-and-come-again plant, meaning you can harvest as leaves mature.  Grow in cool weather and keep the soil moist for the best-flavored greens. Stop harvesting the leaves once the plant flowers or they will become bitter-tasting. If arugula becomes wiltly after harvest, submerge in lukewarm water for 60 seconds, then submerge in ice water. Arugula will crispen after that.

Other Tips: Flea beetles can be controlled by covering the crop with a floating row cover. Stop harvesting the leaves once the plant flowers or they will become bitter-tasting. The flowers are also edible.
