What you need to know:
- 1 x Mr Fothergills Rocket Seeds
- Harvest: May to October
- Outdoors Sowing Guide: Sow outdoors thinly where they are to crop, 0.5cm (¼”) deep directly into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Allow 25cm (10”) between rows. Early sowings may benefit from cloche protection. Seedlings usually appear in 7-14 days. Water well and ensure soil remains moist to prevent plants running to seed. Thin out to 10cm (4”) apart, using thinnings in salads. No thinning is necessary if only baby leaves are required. Regular sowings made every two to three weeks will ensure a continuous supply. Take a few leaves from each plant and this will give up to four cuts or pick whole mature plants.
- Soil Type: Fertile, moisture retentive soil
- Hints & Tips: Easy to grow in well watered containers. Rocket can also be added to lettuce for a stronger tasting salad.
