Most say it's peppery, and this wasn't at all. Not even a hint of "peppery". No, it just tasted a bit like a skunk smells. I was happy when I read Erin's comment, as she had skunky arugula too!

Will cut a little up fine in a salad this year to try but I don't like the smell either. Is there somewhere that tells how to put peoples blogs on the side of ones blog? Also do you need to get the bloggers permission before putting their blog on the side of your blog? I put thyme around my cabbage today!!!

I'm not a huge fan of it raw, but then I feel that way about a lot of off-the-beaten-path-greens. My favorite way to eat arugula is baked onto pizza. I probably don't love it enough to grow it, but then you know I only have 3 pots to grow things in and so my space is very precious to me. :DEcho of Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09712854271701778729noreply@blogger.com
