Watering: Keep soil consistently moist for tender, mild leaves.
-

-
Pollinator Friendly: Let a few plants flower for bees — and save your own seed!
✂️ Harvesting
-
Begin cutting leaves when 3–4 inches tall.
-
Use the cut-and-come-again method — harvest outer leaves and let the centre regrow.
-
For baby leaves, harvest at 2–3 weeks.
Tip: Harvest in the morning for best flavour and crispness.
❄️ Overwintering
-
In mild climates, rocket can be grown under cover through winter.
-
Use a cold frame or fleece to extend the season.
