Arugula Research

I wanted to find out why my arugula isn't really growing, and here's what I found out. Arugula germinates best in soils around 40-55 degrees. It won't be that cold here until January--if then. Not only has it not been this cold yet, it's actually been an exceptionally warm fall (we had a high of 80 a couple of days ago, and that was on the coast, where it's cooler). I haven't even taken a sweater out with me this week! So if we get some cooler weather in a couple of months, I'll try planting some more arugula and see if it fares better.
