I dunno, I saw a buck a few weeks ago and he was kinda glorious. I'll let him bang a few more does before I go for him

That looks nice! The wife says she's glad I don't grow arugula because it's gross and she knows I would try to through it in every salad.

I love arugula, just I have always grown it in a 6 inch trough of potting soil with some osmocote before so it never gets above 12 inches tall. Apparently a raised bed full of a mix of top soil, compost, vermiculite, various plant matter, etc. that opens to fertile soil below makes it go freaking nuts.

That's crazy! I just grow things like a monkey.
Put seed in dirt. Water. Hope it grows.
My method has been quite successful.

Yeah I thought I'd try something different and do 2 4'x4' raised beds this year since I never did any before. Things grow freaking nuts there and at least I bought my cedar boards before lumber went through the roof. Real nice not having to worry about many weeds at all in those, and a lot less bending. Expensive initial investment, but will be a good 10+ years before I need to replace the boards. Plus my carpenter bees can make a nest in the cedar beds rather than keep destroying my shed, which would be a win win.

I harvested one row of it when I harvested my radishes, but it ended up bolting waay too fast for some reason and was super bitter. I left the other row go so it would seed, and then just thought "what the hell, let it go" because I mostly gave up on my garden after deer wrecked my tomatoes, broccoli, peppers and beets.
For size reference, it's a 1 foot tall bed and the highest flowers measure 6 foot from ground level. Just a kind of fun experiment to let it go wild and see what happens. I'll probably have a bed full of arugula "weeds" next year due to letting so many plants bolt for so long.
