In the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, the winters are really long and the growing seasons are short. My apartment has a huge window that allows plenty of sunlight in, so.…I decided to take advantage of this. A week and a half ago I started to grow a small container garden. I chose hardy, fast growing plants so I would see quick results J I’m growing arugula, chives, and parsley.
The arugula is great and by far my favorite! After only three days, the seeds germinated. Supposedly, arugula prefers soil temperatures that range from 40 to 50 degrees F, and likes semi shaded areas. My apartment is a lot warmer than 40 degrees, but the arugula seems to like it. Also, arugula only takes 30 days to mature. If you plan to eat arugula, you need to do so while its young, because it gets very bitter and strong flavored as it matures.
With the arugula I plan to just add it to a salad. I will make a new post on my blog with details about the kind of salad I plan to make.
