Arugula cannot be called a favorite green by many because of its specific taste.
However, not everything is so sad. Arugula will not be bitter if you take into account one important nuance of its cultivation.
Once this plant was called caterpillar and considered a weed, from which it is difficult to clear the plot. Now arugula is as popular green as parsley, basil, spinach.
It is grown not only on an industrial scale, but also on private plots. The plant is unpretentious, quickly increases green mass.
You can sow it directly into open ground. But you need to find the right place for arugula, otherwise bitterness cannot be avoided.
During long daylight hours, the greens produce flower stalks early, which is what gives the leaves their bitter taste.
This can be easily avoided by creating the right conditions. Diffused light will smooth out the negative condition for the taste of arugula.
Gardeners sow arugula next to tall and climbing crops. For example, near corn, peas, beans, cucumbers.
