I have so much arugula in the garden we're going to be eating salads for the next month. This plant grows wonderfully here, and the bugs don't touch it.
Our cucumbers got off to a slow start thanks to the cold spring we've had, but they're finally producing too.
We also have corn again, and we're hand-pollinating it in hopes to improve the yield. No bets on whether or not it will work, but we're keeping our fingers crossed.

Is arugula bitter? I heard a chef mention that once so I've never been brave enough to grow it. I'm not fond of bitter.
I'm hoping I can remember to save some seed from a new-to-me snacking tomato. It was delicious! If I save the seed I'll send you some.
Arugula is usually green and peppery to me, not bitter (your mileage may vary.) Like kale but better. I've been adding just a little raw to our salads; as a little goes a long way. I also cook it in hot dishes instead of spinach and I've frozen a lot from the garden. If you want I can send you some seeds to try when it gets cooler.
Sure. I'd be willing to try it. Just send a couple though. I don't want to rob you in case I don't like it. (I do like peppery, and I love kale.) :)
