I just got my fall seeds in the mail today, and I'm excited to plant them! This is my first year vegetable gardening, and I'm doing it on the patio of our apartment, so obviously, everything is in pots. (Here's my blog: http://lawrencepothead.blogspot.com)

One of the plants I want to grow this fall is Arugula. The website from which I bought the seeds says that it grows to 2-1/2 feet tall. However, I'm planning on eating this plant as much as possible, so i'll be cutting leaves from it fairly often. Normally for a 2-1/2 foot-tall plant, I'd use a deep pot, but will that be necessary, when I plan on harvesting from the plant regularly?

Sorry if this question is really basic. I'm a newbie! :-)
