One of my favorite greens is arugula. It is a versatile super veggie I can use in many dishes including salad, sandwich, risotto, and pasta. I first started growing my own in a container when I was living in Texas. Although the summer heat in Texas is sometimes unbearable, the humidity was good for my plants. That's something we don't have in Arizona, and gardening in dry heat has been a challenge. Arugula is doing all right so far, but I have to water every day.
Earlier this year, I planted rapini, or broccoli raab, in a container (pictured above). Although it didn't get as tall as I wanted it to be(probably because I planted it too late), it was delicious sauteed. I need to make a in=ground planting bed for this type of veggies for next year or this fall. Greens seem to have hard time growing in containers.
