Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No special preparation required. Seeds can be sown directly into the soil.

Sowing:

Sow seeds outdoors in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked, or in late summer/early autumn for a fall crop.
Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep and space them about 1 inch apart in rows.
Space rows 12-18 inches apart.

Germination:

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Maintain a temperature of 50-70°F (10-21°C) for optimal germination.
Germination typically occurs within 5-10 days.

Transplanting:

Rocket is typically sown directly in the garden and does not require transplanting.
If started indoors, harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over 7-10 days before planting out.
Space transplants about 4-6 inches apart.

Care and Maintenance:

Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry periods.
Apply a light mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Thin seedlings to 4-6 inches apart to prevent overcrowding.
Harvest leaves when they are young and tender, about 2-3 inches long, for the best flavor.

Happy Gardening!
