Should I let my arugula flower?
Under row cover or between onions, the spring arugula crop passes quickly as lengthening days trigger the plants to bolt, and leaf quality deteriorates as the plants grow tall and produce flowers. Arugula flower buds and flowers are edible, and the petals are particularly good when snipped into summer salads.
How do you keep arugula from bolting?
Some plants just don't do well sown in spring. Many salad brassicas fall into this category: Chinese cabbage (pak choi), mizuna and arugula are good examples which are all best sown in mid to late summer. Lettuces can be kept from bolting by regularly picking the outer leaves, keeping them from maturing properly.
