Either way at this stage leaf production and quality will be declining so you may want to just pull the plants and use the space to grow more arugula or something else.

In addition to leaves, they grew tall stalks about 18" tall with white flowers. Should this be trimmed down to only leaves or allow the tall stem and flowers to remain.

I want to make them grow into the wild around here :) My advice is… give them time, they have a slow start, my plants are growing fast now, its been 2 months maybe since I plan them, and now thay look big enough to make a salad :)

I started arugula in a pot about two weeks ago. It sprouted in two days, and rapidly grew to ~2 inch stalks with two leaves at the top. Unfortunately it then stagnated and hasn't grown much for a week. I'm keeping the soil damp but well drained, and noticed it isn't taking up as much water as I expected. The temperatures have been pretty normal (highs up to 85, lows down to 50), but could this be a form of bolting (no flowers yet)? Any advice? Thanks for the great article.

A little shade will help during summer and there are some strains that will tolerate the heat better than others. Good Luck!

Btw, how long would it take for the seeds to grow into plants? I put them in a small pot to keep track of it and then I will move them to the soil, also put some plants directly in the dirt, but i don't know how much time to wait to see results.

I would probably go for a 9" pot just to be sure. I cut off the flowers before they blume and just eat them right there and they Continue to flower no matter what -It's great - they just keep going and going like there's no tomorrow. Paula –
