Rocket man!




Having bought a small container of unpulled lettuce at the local shop which meant I cut it as needed and the rest stayed fresh in the compost I thought rocket would be a good crop to grow this way. As it doesn't have much in the way of roots I 3/4 filled an ice cream tub with compost and did a first sowing........this was on a Monday and I was surprised and delighted to see little plants peeping through by the wednesday afternoon - I wonder if this speedy growth habit is why it is called rocket?
A good wheze for taking plants on holiday I think!
