I'm not sure why I thought that all the Arugula seed pods would ripen at once. Pretty thoughtless of me to assume that. Actually, each stalk is ripening slowly from the bottom to the top, and each stalk is ripening at a different time.
I've harvested several seed pods so far and put them in this nice homemade envelope to wait for next season's joyful garden, wherever that ends up being.
The only other news is that it has been raining since the 4th of July, and it's all my fault! I was just saying last week that it should rain again, since I had used up all the water from my rain catchers. As if on cue, it started raining the next day! Sorry everyone! I only meant A LITTLE bit of rain, not a whole week of it!
The dampness has allowed mushrooms to pop up everywhere. I'm not completely sure, but I think that's a bad thing for my plants' health. If so, I need to do something, but I'd like to avoid harsh chemicals.
