When to plant: Direct sow March–May and again August–September.
How to plant: Direct seed outdoors; arugula does not benefit from transplanting.
Seed depth: ¼ inch
Spacing: Thin to 4–6 inches for full leaves, or closer for baby greens.
Notes: Arugula thrives in cool Pacific Northwest weather and grows quickly in spring and fall. Hot summer conditions cause bolting and stronger flavor; partial shade and frequent harvest help extend the season.
