We had approx. 3-4 days of temps. going down to the teens over night and I covered the plants (with the exception of 3 of them) and currently "ALL" of the plants are in Great Shape...I wanted to see if those Three could withstand the frost, etc. and they did better than I thought. Now that we're Finally getting some rain, the largest of the plants is even Bluming AGAIN. I don't know exactly which brand of Arugula I planted (other than it was organic) but it is a Hardy one for sure...Thanks again K.P.

There is a hardy variety described as "ice-bred" and sold by Fedco Seeds that can tolerate even more extreme cold and remain in usable condition.

I have one little problem - the leaves look like swiss cheese, tiny little holes throughout. If you have a solution I would appreciate hearing from you - otherwise I will continue to eat it anyway. Also I did not know you could cut it and it will continue to grow - thank you for that tip. hope you have a solution. dorie I love arugula and have grown it ever since we came back from Provence (where I purchased the seeds).
