See the woody stem? As the temperatures rise, the leaves get spicier and their growth rate diminishes significantly. The plant wants to go to seed.

Looks like you have some of each. The weather has been quite bizarre for the past week or so, and my garden is confused, too.

Mine's bolting too... Didn't realize I can buy non-bolting arugula? I heard that the flowers taste good in salads so I'll just leave it be after harvesting all the leaves...

Heather -- it's really wonderful to have fresh salads.
