Super Rocket

[paddyx]

I put a trough of rocket on our balcony in the hope of having a few green things to eat. It hasn't grown into anything huge or amazing, but it's been covered in snow and had a few frosts - I've totally neglected it (apart from eating it) and it's still growing! At least I can pretend that I'm "eating my greens", scattering a few leaves in my dinner.

I love the stuff - good for you too  :)

if it gets well below zero you might have to cover it with some fleece.
by the way, there is a perennial variety, much stronger in flavour and good to eat really only in spring. it is very frosthardy, as it is a native plant round here. (Dipoltaxis tenuifolia)

Rocket seems to grow anywhere I left mine to seed on the lotty and now everybody has a little patch????!!!!

[wardy]

I got my free packet of rocket seed this morning from the offer from the HDRA (now garden organic)  I'd completely forgotten that I'd applied

[Mrs Ava]

I received mine today also Wardy.  Hoorah for free seeds....like we need more!!!  ;D ;D ;D

Mine arrived yesterday - very happy, did not grow Rocket this year.

Mine arrived today as well, which was a surprise as I'd forgotten I'd asked for them and was expecting it to be the peppers for the Gardeners World trial! I applied online within a minute of the programme ending but have heard nothing. Has anyone got the seeds yet?

[wardy]

I always get ridiculously excited whenever I get new seeds through the post.  Daft innit  ;D

[terrace max]

No.

[BAGGY]

Does anyone want my pack ?  I think rocket tastes like used cat litter.

Never grown rocket. Never tasted used cat litter  ;D

Must try this year! (To grow rocket that is  ;D)
