first harvest of Rocket, with and without soil.
boiled and served with a bit of butter and freshly ground black pepper with chicken salad last night: deeeeeelishus!!!
(edit: taken from two plants. tried not to feel smug when neighbour told me he'd had to dig up four plants to get a decent meal for one. beginner's luck and now I'll probably get blight ::))

pretty good haul there, hope you enjoy them :)
Well done Norfoklass.
This is my first year growing Rocket, I know it is subject to soil variations etc, but I thought mine tasted a bit bland.
How long do you cook your for? I have so far managed to over and under cook them ::)
If you have over -cooking problems, do them from cold - & for a little longer than when a knife slides in easily.
And DO FREEZE a few bags when they're at their best for luxury later on.
Well after seeing Tims potatoes I couldn't contain myself any longer. Dug 2 plants today. I pentland javelin and 1 arran pilot. Enough for 3 of us.
Woohoo norfolklass, i bet you're chuffed ;D
When did you plant them? I can't wait to dig ours up, i'm really testing my patience by waiting this long to be honest ::)

all 1st earlies planted on 1st April, and 2nd earlies planted a week or two later.
had 14 weeks marked on the calendar but as they've started flowering I thought I'd dig up a plant and see how they were doing. they did taste nice, surprisingly sweet, but I did over-cook them a bit ::)
still got Arran Pilot, Pentland Javelin and Duke of York to try â€" went for a few seed potatoes of lots of varieties, to see which grow and taste best for next year.
it's all very exciting ;D
Shirl - I think that someone else deserves the credit for tempting you??
We dug some up on Saturday I think it was, and a few plants last night too, they tasted yummy :)
Erm, excuse me! I don't have a plot now....please don't post pic's of yummy newly dug-up taties.....have a heart!
Those look yummy Norfolklass! I dug up some Lady Christl last weekend.
mmmm and I have had no dinner, a plateful with butter and nothing else needed at all,
