I found wild rocket sown mid July will overwinter outdoors well even without fleece in a ‘normal’ winter. I leave all leaves until about Feb then cut right down and cover with fleece to speed up growth and improve leaf quality. Seems if you don’t cut it back leaves can be odd colours and a bit rough looking. Growing a lot more rocket for the bags this autumn and less orientals. CN seeds do loads of good rocket seeds Kate, including fast growing salad rocket which looks to the demanding customers just like wild rocket! I tried Serrata last year and it grew ok. So much too do…!
