Arugula is a little tougher to grow, and grows a bit more slowly than other micros. You can harvest past 10 days for a larger leaf, or at about 10 days for a smaller leaf.It’s a favorite and generally considered a staple of the spicier side of micro greens and bab y salad greens. The peppery taste gets less intense as it gets bigger. Arugula does not like direct light. Allow to green up and grow in indirect light. Too much light makes the crop look burnt and unhealthy. When it grows in a mix with other seeds it is a perfect fit, as it grows slower so will naturally end up shaded by other faster growers around it.
