Rocket Seeds For Growing Herbs
If you are looking to create some beautiful salad mixes this year, consider growing rocket salad greens at home. Rocket is known for its rich, peppery flavour and can be used as the base of any fresh salad. While mostly used in salads, rocket can also be cooked and served as a leafy vegetable. The leaves taste best when they are tender and young, and are great when added to sandwiches and salads.
This annual grows up to 100cm in height and has large serrated green leaves. The plant is able to tolerate cold weather, but rocket thrives best in sunny sites with rich, fertile soil. Rocket can also be planted in containers but ensure it has enough room to grow without interruption.
