Rocket

harvestmoon

Hi
Hubby planted rocket in a pot. Doesn't seem to be growing at a rate my neighbour says his is!.
Could it be there are too many leaves/roots in the pot?

I've sown rocket in a trough thats about 18inches long by 8 inches wide, I don't thin them out at all but I have noticed that they seem to take longer to germinate and grow than say my salad leaves if that's any help to you

Who knows [we can't see it to tell!]

Can you pop it in the ground. I find once you pick it it [rockets] away.

So, pick some small leaves and give it a water and see what happens.

I hate the stuff; I'm trying to wean myself onto it as everyone else loves it and I have about a gazillion seeds for it; I even bought 'mild rocket' to see if that helps pit [hasn't so far].

I'm just getting stronger and stronger salad dressings to cover the taste!

I'd say stick it in the ground if you can find the space. Ours is in the ground and looks super-happy, much happier than it was before we moved it from its original large tray.
