The arugula is gone, but I did buy more seed and will plant it again when space opens up. I wasn't pleased with the slow growing, short leaf 'sylvetta' variety that I planted the first time. It was difficult to harvest and had a very pungent taste that is too strong for my liking. Instead, I prefer the standard arugula with long dark green lobed leaves that reaches maturity in 40 days. The sylvetta variety was good for making pesto, however. I have it for sale in the garage freezer. But beware, it is strong and only for true arugula lovers only!
I dont know how I would like the arugula pesto but i should make some regular pesto of my own and freeze it! Although that would take a whole lot of basil wouldn't it??
ReplyDeleteHey Aunt Jenna!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so beautiful! I can't believe how much you have been harvesting!
So, I was wondering if Nick and I could maybe help out in the garden on Saturday morning? That is, only if you need some help! I'm not positive just yet how early we will get out to Bay Shore, but I will let you know!
Also, could I buy some veggies to bring back with me they look so delicious!
