Arugula in flower!

in #gardening5 years ago

Each spring we leave to flower a patch of arugula, which is called rucola here, based on the Italian word. Our aim is to collect a handful of seeds for next year!

Luckily the plant gives abundant seeds and they are easy to collect once the plant dries in a few weeks. I cannot remember the last time we bought seeds for rucola, it was years ago!

Next year we'll try to spread some seeds around in several of our vegetable beds and see if we can get the rucola to self seed and grow on it's own even if not in a dense planting. We love foraging the different beds for random stuff. Like this year we have Swiss chard growing up everywhere! Probably because last year our daughter played a lot with the seeds of the plant and loved to pull all the seeds from a chard seed head and throw them in the air screaming "fireworks!!!" 😱😋😂

Thank you baby girl! Oh I should not be calling her a baby, three year olds are very sensitive to being called a baby these days! Look, she's taller than the asparagus!

What a delightful story of how the Swiss Chard has been seeded... a new gardener in the works! Your garden looks lovely by the way.

That's like guerilla gardening, right? 😆

Wow - your asparagus is stunning - competing hard to outshine your radiant little daughter. Never underestimate the hope and light that such simple photos shine into another's world - people who may be in an urban space, in darkness, deep in feelings on constraint. And into that place you shine such clean, wholesome energy. Lovely. Much gratitude.
