arugula has flower buds and getting ready to bolt

Image
Both of my  arugula  plants have  buds . Should I try trimming them? Or just eat the leaves *now*?  eat flowers? let go to seed?  (definitely not fond enough for seeds) I had planned on the spicy red mustard with my leftover roast lamb and Japanese sweet potato.   ( the spruce on arugula ) My speadsheet says I should have replanted Christmas for continuous harvest and the end of the month for replacing in the hole. I have been a bit disappointed in these for quantity and taste. The variety I had in ca was more delicate. Tended to have more than 2 plants also. The red mustard also has a fairly quick cycle. (shift command 4?) Glad I entered stock by arrived date rather than ordered. Strawberry is the obvious first choice. Hmm. Went with red Amaranth .  Plant arrived start Cucumbers 12/7/2021 Chamomile 12/7/2021 Oregano 12/7/2021 MiniEggplant 12/7/2021 Chives 12/7/2021 Strawberries 12/7/2021 1/12/2022 Lemon Balm 12/7/2021 Cape Gooseberry 12/7/2021 Red Am...
