I had three visitors to the garden yesterday.  I got to show off the blooming kale, leeks, mustard, and this gorgeous bed of arugula.  I love arugula.  

 

You can see the flowers, and why they are in the Crucifer family, each flower has four petals in the shape of a cross.  The leaves and flowers and baby seed pods are all edible, so we use them raw in salads, and cook them into lasagna and quiche, just like spinach.

 

This bed is under the deck and gets morning sun.  Perfect!!!  We get three crops a year, and the last one we let go to seed to save for next year.  Meanwhile, we eat LOTS of arugula.  Every day!!!

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
