Fatty Seeds – Rocket (Arugula)
Rocket, also known as Arugula, is a fast-growing leafy vegetable with tender green leaves and a distinctive peppery flavour. Commonly used in salads, sandwiches and pasta dishes, it adds a fresh and slightly spicy taste to meals. Suitable for growing in pots or garden beds, Rocket is a great choice for home gardening.
Planting Guidelines:
-
Sow the seeds directly into well-draining soil, covering them lightly with a thin layer of soil. Space the plants approximately 10–15cm apart to allow sufficient room for healthy growth.
-
Seeds typically germinate within 5–7 days, and the leaves can be ready for harvesting in approximately 30–45 days. Harvest the outer leaves regularly while leaving the centre intact to encourage continuous growth.
-
Rocket grows best in cooler conditions with partial sunlight, especially in Singapore's warm climate. Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Avoid prolonged exposure to intense afternoon sun, as excessive heat may cause the plant to flower early and develop a bitter taste.
