Rocket Sweet Oakleaf

Sowing Info

Direct sow rocket seeds from April to June outdoors, or under cover in autumn, into moist, well drained soil. Sow seeds thinly at a depth of 1cm. Rocket dislikes the warmest weather so may bolt if grown through mid summer. Sow every 3 weeks for a continuous supply.

Growing Info

When large enough to handle, thin rocket seedlings to 20cm apart, or leave un-thinned and harvest as ‘baby salad’ leaves or as a ‘cut and come again’ crop. Sowings made in late summer will continue cropping into winter if protected by cloches, if sown undercover, or in pots on the windowsill.

Sowing Months: March-October
Harvest Months: Year Round
Position: Full Sun to part shade
