Do you like rocket, and have you ever grown it?

Yes, I like rocket, or arugula as it is known in some places.

I DO actually grow it in a small tub and it pops up for several years in a row - the only trouble with it is if you dont eat it within several weeks, it tends to go bitter and gets bigger and is not pleasant then.

It is however. very easy to grow - doesnt need any attention apart from water and it's great being able to go into your back yard and picking it as you need it instead of having to buy it when I usually end up throwing some out.

I love rocket in a salad, but I have never tried growing it.

I buy it all the time, but no have not ever tried to grow it.
I love the stuff, and I put it in most things I cook, just 1 min before serving.
YUM!

Thanks, jonaja for the cooking rocket tip! I didn't know it should only go in 1 minute before the end of cooking the meal.

What was your reply to me, Jonaja? There's only, :) in your reply!

I do like it and I have never grown it.

I like rocket and have grown it for several years. I have some young rocket which is nearly big enough to start picking. I usually put it into salads or add it to a sandwich.

I have grown it in the past. Maybe I had too much or maybe it was too mature, but I made myself sick of it. Now I don't like it.

No not me, I dislike intensely that bitter taste! yuk... what on earth is wrong with plain good old fashioned lettuce? I don't buy that mixed leaves stuff or order any in restaurants either...however it does have some good health benefits so I read....

I also buy it occasionally, as I like it in salads, with mixed salad greens, but I've never found a recipe using it. It's time I looked up some recipes I think, & I've also never grown it.
