Rocket Boo Boo .... Advice needed please
« on: May 31, 2010, 20:21 »
Hi,
For some reason I thought A Rocket seed would grow into 1 Rocket leaf  :lol:
I therefore sowed a whole packet in a relatively small space. Now realising my mistake I have miles of Rocket plants all tightly squeezed in together. What I would like to know is whether I can take a few plants and transplant them, or is this not possible with Rocket? If not I will start again, but seems a shame when they have come on so well. Thanks

Don't really know the right answer, but what have you got to lose. I'd transplant a few clumps and water them in well. You should end up with miles more.
Rocket grows so quickly. Mine went from sowing to baby leaves big enough to eat in two weeks  :D

and at this time of year it tend to run to seed very quickly so be prepared to pinch the flowering shoots off.
Just leave one flower stem on if you want it to self seed in that place.........you'll never have to buy seed again :D

Sow some fresh as they will almost certainly quickly go to seed if you move them. Harvest the thick ones with scissors and you may get some regrowth.
