I am sure I read somewhere that rocket doesn't die off overwinter. IE keep picking through the winter. To date I have picked all the outside stuff before the depths of winter. Hoping to leave it alone this year for winter use.
Anyone tried it through winter?

Mine grows enough to pick in the cold greenhouse, but not outside - it just gets tough and inedible, or dies back altogether if it gets really cold and wet.

Salad rocket can be picked over winter and grows reasonably well with a bit of protection, wild rocket basically stops for at least a couple of months,  then you can pick it  in spring from a September sowing. But yeah you need a mild winter for it to survive outside. Last year was so mild I was still picking my autumn salad mustards and rockets in April!

I've had good success sowing wild rocket in September in modules, keep them inside the greenhouse over winter then plant out end of february under fleece. They are a bit slow to grow otherwise, at least compared to some other mustards
