I’ve tried growing arugula. I planted these late last month. The weather has been very inconsistent, abnormally cold, and raining a lot. It’s originally been kept up on a covered deck and got part light. I did unfortunately neglect my plants for a week and I’m trying to make up for that but any suggestions to keep this plant alive would be helpful.

You might have to put them in starter pots in a temperature controlled environment like a seedling starter with a heat mat and a grow light.

Well, there was a time when they were thriving fine. Do you think an indoor plant growing environment would help them? In this picture I did just move them. I don’t want that to be the cause of stress.

Another note is that I had moved them to the garage so that the hard rain wouldn’t get them after already being watered and to avoid overwatering. The garage is more set to the temp that my petunias can thrive in so it’s a little bit colder for them.

Could any of that change anything?

I’m not sure. If it’s too much light and heat, then try a piece of shade cloth to reduce the light intensity. Can’t think of anything else.
