Rocket(ing)

My mate Ann was on about growing rocket in her back garden. 'it grows like a weed' she says. Apparently all you need to do is sling some seed into a grow bag and let it do it's stuff.

Such a simple recipe sounded right up my street. On a heady trip to Homebase u bought one too many terracotta pots in a fit of excitement. I chucked some compost in, watered it and scattered a few rocket seeds on top. On top of that I just sprinkled a bit more compost, just to say cover the seeds and then gave it another good water and left it out on the 6x12.

9 days later I've got me some seedlings! We've had the wettest April in 100 years, so in sure the regular drink that they have been having has helped. Now it's a case of waiting and seeing, to see if I get a harvest. Fingers crossed!
