RE: Winter Means Seed(lings) and Growth | A HiveGarden Journal Update

Thank you so much! Is that really so? Wow, I never knew that rocket might be bad for the soil! Their roots are always so weak, but that might contribute to it. Could you give me more information on that, really interesting! I luckily grow them in raised beds which I continually feed with new compost from my own compost heap. So, luckily not that bad then!

I received this information from a woman who gave me some plants in 2019. Her garden was full of arugula at the time. After we planted the arugula in 2019, it grew and spread, taking over the area where we had other herbs. In 2022, the plants were full of seeds, and we scattered the seeds all around the open area near the house. However, last year we didn't get a single plant, and neither did my friend who had many of them. For two consecutive years, they haven't shown up in our garden or Karri's garden. When I talked to Karri last time, she told me about this info. I haven't checked the internet. But I will also ask one of my gardening customers for advice. Don't worry may your garden has some different energy levels. Enjoy your harvest regards :)

I am so sorry for only replying now! I got sick and could not do much. Thank you so much for this information though, and it makes sense as I can rarely grow arugula or rocket in the same area twice. And this might be the reason. Thank you so much!
