time to pull the arugula?

Each year I try to grow at least one new thing in the veggie garden, and this year it was arugla.

(Note: Last year it was kohlrabi, which I had read was a fun veggie to grow for kids since it looks like Sputnik.  Well, they were underwhelmed, and so was I, frankly.  A guess it would be good with dip but by itself it was nothing to write home about.  I won't bother growing it again.)

Anyhoo. I have discovered that I LOVE arugula!  Why have I never tried it before?!?  It is delicious!  I love the nutty flavour with a bit of zing.  However, from what I have read, it will get bitter in the heat of summer so should be pulled and started again from seed towards the end of the summer for a fall crop.  Too bad, as I will miss its pretty flowers too!  Maybe I'll leave it for just a few more days or until it becomes unpalatable...
