Re: Arugula

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Anybody else out there try to grow this is summer.  Any tips for helping
keep it not bitter?  I'm in so cal, so it doesn't get too hot here,
generally 80-90 degrees.  A week or two of 95s, but not too bad, as our
humidity is not high here.  I'd like to try growing this for my father
in law, as it's his favorite as well.  Do you grow this in full sun?

Kim zone 9, so cal
