Preparation
Rocket can be grown under cloches or a polytunnel for an early crop as it germinates in low temperatures. It prefers well drained fertile soil, which should have been cultivated before sowing.
Sow rocket seeds in module trays for easier planting out, direct in containers (such as a window box) or directly into the vegetable bed. Use our resources on how to sow seeds in modules, sowing seeds in pots and how to sow seeds outdoors for extra guidance.
