    Hi Charles,

    My outdoor wild rocket looks ready to rest for the winter, should i cut it right back the the crown or leave to die off? Is it worth covering with fleece, can it be killed by hard frost? For instance if we get a cold winter?

     I have found wild rocket survives some -10C winters – but fleecing might give peace of mind. I am not covering mine and leave the leaves on for now, then tidy it in early March, to almost a bare plant by then.  It looks scrappy in winter but that does not matter, may be better in fact when it is dormant.
