I finally get tired of waiting for arugulas to produce seeds. After 15 months today i decided to pull out arugulas and use the pots to grow other veggie. After cleaning the first pot i notice flower bud in second pot. My curiosity spares the arugulas life in second pot.

This red
giant mustard is almost 2 months old, I’ve eaten the rest, and this is the
only one which is left behind. I’m still undecided whether to eat it or to
let it go to seed. Young the mustard is spicy, and i think the spiciness get
stronger as it matures.

Gardening is good for the body and soul. It also teaches me
a few life lessons. Patience is a virtue.
Do not be afraid to experiment, failed or made new discovery even if it appear
insignificant. Arugula is suppose to
bolt when temperature get high but after 8 months of hot summer and 2 monsoon season only it decide to flower. My advice for those
who plant arugula in the tropics is to pick it when it still young as it
get spicier as it aged and be prepared
to buy new seeds each time you want to plant it
