Sowing Guidelines:
Direct Outdoor Sowing (Recommended):
Rocket thrives when directly sown in the garden.
Sow seeds ¼ inch deep, spacing them 1 inch apart in rows.
Space rows 6-12 inches apart for proper airflow and growth.
Sow in early spring (as soon as the soil can be worked) or late summer for a fall crop.
Indoor Sowing (For Early Harvests):
Start seeds indoors 3-4 weeks before the last frost.
Use seed trays or small pots with well-draining soil.
Keep soil temperature between 50-70°F (10-21°C) for optimal germination.
Transplant outdoors once seedlings are 2-3 inches tall.
Germination:
Typically occurs within 5-10 days under optimal conditions.
Keep soil evenly moist but avoid overwatering.
Growing Conditions & Care:
Thinning: Once seedlings are 2 inches tall, thin them to 4-6 inches apart for proper leaf growth.
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy to maintain tender leaves.
Fertilization: Use a light application of balanced fertilizer or compost for nutrient-rich soil.
Mulching: Apply mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Pest & Disease Control: Watch for flea beetles and aphids; use row covers or neem oil if needed.
Harvesting & Storage:
Baby Leaves: Ready for harvest in 20-25 days for a mild, tender flavor.
Mature Leaves: Fully grown in 40-50 days, offering a bold, peppery taste.
Harvest by cutting leaves 2 inches above the soil to allow regrowth.
Store in a refrigerator for up to one week in a sealed container.
