What a great channel. I usually shy away from UA-cam and just read websites because I don't like long verbal explanations. I'm growing Rocket and some herbs from seed for the first time. Mine are about 2 weeks since planting and my plants look similar to yours. So that's good. Mine are in probably too small of pots. I have to move them around as I'm in the tropics and it's prone to sudden heavy downpours and scorching sun some days, year-round.
Thank you for the tip of folding the top in order to grow veg like lettuce. I use fabric grow bags so your info has helped me and maybe expand on more delicate veg and herbs.
Glad it was helpful! Herbs usually do not need the full depth of the grow bags and by folding them you can save some potting soil. Thank you so much for your comment!
First time seeing your channel, first youtuber that answers so much questions. I love rockets and this will be my second time growing them. Hope my seeds are still healthy. Thank you so much for your advice. Great video.
Glad to hear it. Usually seeds can be used for many years, but keep in mind that for greens and lettuce the germination rates drop by the time. Hopefully yours are fine. Happy growing and thank you so much for your comment!🌱😊
Wow your video is amazing. I was about to plant rocket seed and I stopped to watch your video to learn how to plant. Your video is a blessing to me. I'm going to start planting your way now. 5 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Glad you found my video helpful. You want to keep soil moist but not soggy. In warm weathers, water daily. Don't just mist, water roots also. You can shower plants with watering cans or use the "shower" set up on the garden hose. I hope this helps and thank you very much for your comment!
So glad you love it. The music is from UA-cam audio library. You can check video description for the music name and other details. Thank you very much for your comment!
It is hard to tell but most probably it can be “damping off” which is a fungal disease. Try growing in a fresh mix and let soil dry between watering. And don not over water them. Hope you have a better results next time and thanks for visiting.
1. Little confused with the 1 Part 2 Part. Is it a 2 / 1 / 2 mix? Surely the perlite is not 50/50 with the potting soil? 2. Direct sunlight? 3. How often watering?
Hi! 1. If you are asking about the potting mix, you can check my video here on how I make the mix for greens ua-cam.com/video/Xdi9kwEA_X0/v-deo.htmlsi=GK04hHht5R0lwgCj . 2. Direct sunlight to part shade is ok. Specially in hot midday sun, move them to shade. 3. Watering depends on the weather. You want to keep the soil moist but not soggy. If top of soil is wet, skip watering. Grow bags need more watering, maybe daily. Hope this helps and thank you for visiting.
I usually start Arugula in cool months, Nov. or Jan. Arugula grow better in cool weather, so if it is getting warm you may want to move the in shade. Thank you for visiting!
In cold winters, Feb. to Jun. is a good time. If you have hot summers (or mild winters), grow them in cool months such as Sep. to Nov. Hope this helps and thank you for visiting!
You need to keep soil moist, but I don't think everyday watering is needed unless it is very hot and the soil gets dry. Probably watering every 2-3 days would be better. Thank you for visiting.
So, I plant the seeds > allow them to grow > harvest > regrow > harvest. Right? I don’t have to replant the seeds again and again? Or do I? The plant regrows and harvesting it from regrown plant is the only cycle, right?
You can harvest for few times and they will grow back, but usually when it gets warmer, arugula will start bolting (flowering) and the taste changes. It is better to sow seeds again when it gets cooler for a fresh crop. Hope this helps and thank you for getting in touch!
That's just a label. I usually plant several seeds at the same time so always label my seeds to I know what I am growing. This is totally optional. Thanks for visiting.
For the first harvest, fertilizing is optional. The manure added to the soil at the time of planting is sufficient. If you want to harvest multiple times, you can fertilize with water soluble foods such as Fish fertilizer after each harvest. Thank you for visiting!

It is really hard to tell without seeing them. Do you notice any pest activity? Did you expose them to too much sunlight? or maybe it could be a soil-borne fungal disease effecting the roots, or damping off. I would start over in a clean soil. Also do not over water them. wait until top soil is dry then water. Hopefully will have a better results next time. Happy growing and thank you for visiting!
The plastic container is 7.5" (19cm) wide and 6"(15cm) deep. The grow bag is 12" (30cm) deep, but I folded the edges down and only added about 8" (20cm) of soil. Hope this helps and thank you for visiting!
You can find seed online from almost every seed provider, here is a link to what I used in the video: www.reneesgarden.com/products/arugula-italian . Thank you for visiting.
Cann't tell what is wrong without details, but it might be that they just meed some boosting, specially if the soil is not rich. Try to feed them with diluted fish fertilizer. Hope you have a better results. Thanks.
These videos are great. I love the time lapse so I can judge how mine should be going

thank you for showing me how to harvest arugula. I have already planted it, but I wasn't sure of when and how to harvest it.
So glad it was helpful. Thank you so much for your comment!
Never tried rocket ... I going to have a bash at growing some on my window ledge thanks to you 👍
Glad to hear it. Rockets are relatively easy to grow, it will be fun. Thank you very much for the comment and happy gardening!
Thank you, very helpful. how do I water and how often? Do I mist?

I love this music and the other music in the videos! What is this song called? I also love the no talking in your videos
So glad you love it. The music is from UA-cam audio library. You can check video description for the music name and other details. Thank you very much for your comment!
Any advice on why they might keep wilting off a week or two after sprouting?
It is hard to tell but most probably it can be “damping off” which is a fungal disease. Try growing in a fresh mix and let soil dry between watering. And don not over water them. Hope you have a better results next time and thanks for visiting.
Thank you , they are beautiful 💚
Thanks for the comment! 😊
Can Aragula be grown in smaller planters ? Say 12 in rectangular ones as opposed to 24 in ?
Yes, absolutely. Just don't overcrowd seeds, try to sow seeds lightly. Happy growing and thank you for visiting!.
Will they do well with weekly harvesting.. Will they grow back
You can get 2-3 harvests in about every 10 days. Thank you for visiting.
Good job
Thank you very much for your comment!

My favorite 🙂

What depth is deep enough to grow rpocket 0:51
You can grow rocket in a 5-6" (12-15 cm) deep pots. They will grow in shorter pots too but you will get smaller plants. Thank you for visiting!
So what month did you plant? Growing some now but not doing good
I usually start Arugula in cool months, Nov. or Jan. Arugula grow better in cool weather, so if it is getting warm you may want to move the in shade. Thank you for visiting!
thank you.. do you only grow them in the summer ???
They do grow best in spring or cooler weather rather than in the summer. Optimum soil temperature to grow is 60-70ºF (15-20ºC). Thanks for visiting!
I watched your video and I would like to know what month should I plant my seeds. I just bought a packet of arugula seeds. Thabk you
In cold winters, Feb. to Jun. is a good time. If you have hot summers (or mild winters), grow them in cool months such as Sep. to Nov. Hope this helps and thank you for visiting!
Best season to grow in india
Do i need to water the soil everyday? even if the seeds are not yet growing?
You need to keep soil moist, but I don't think everyday watering is needed unless it is very hot and the soil gets dry. Probably watering every 2-3 days would be better. Thank you for visiting.
So, I plant the seeds > allow them to grow > harvest > regrow > harvest. Right?
I don’t have to replant the seeds again and again? Or do I?

Do you need to thin them?
Thinning is optional. I usually don't thin them. Thanks for visiting.
May I ask of the reason you put the wooden stick?
That's just a label. I usually plant several seeds at the same time so always label my seeds to I know what I am growing. This is totally optional. Thanks for visiting.
@@TowardGarden thank you so much
Absolutely beautiful
Thank you so much for your comment!😊
When should I fertilize if so?
For the first harvest, fertilizing is optional. The manure added to the soil at the time of planting is sufficient. If you want to harvest multiple times, you can fertilize with water soluble foods such as Fish fertilizer after each harvest. Thank you for visiting!
Are you fertilizing?

Great video
Thank you so much for your comment!
I saw some popping up and checked the next day they all died. Literally nothing changed, soil was still moist…
It is really hard to tell without seeing them. Do you notice any pest activity? Did you expose them to too much sunlight? or maybe it could be a soil-borne fungal disease effecting the roots, or damping off. I would start over in a clean soil.

ধন্যবাদ ভাই
Thank you very much for your comment!😊
How deep is pots
The plastic container is 7.5" (19cm) wide and 6"(15cm) deep. The grow bag is 12" (30cm) deep, but I folded the edges down and only added about 8" (20cm) of soil. Hope this helps and thank you for visiting!
Where to buy a seed
You can find seed online from almost every seed provider, here is a link to what I used in the video: www.reneesgarden.com/products/arugula-italian . Thank you for visiting.
is full sun ok?
It is better to keep them in part shade. Thanks for visiting!
Sun requirements?
Part sun or part shade is best for arugula. Thanks for visiting!
😊👍👏🌈
Thank you so much😊🙏
But I sowed in April, and even till June, it didn't grow well, just lying in its tiny stage. What's wrong??
Cann't tell what is wrong without details, but it might be that they just meed some boosting, specially if the soil is not rich. Try to feed them with diluted fish fertilizer. Hope you have a better results. Thanks.
