My rocket is ready to pick. Do I pull out the whole plant roots and all or just cut off the leaves? Excuse my ignorance! This is my first go at growing vegies. Regards Sandra

You can pick from the sides, but leave the leaves in the middle to keep them growing :)

Hi Sandra, even though your Q is from Feb with no other answers I hope you have found out in the meantime that you can simply pick off the outside leaves of your rocket as you need them.... they are very forgiving, and if you let them go to seed they will self seed and grow where ever they like.. a very handy vegetable to have.... Hope you are having fun in your veggie garden....Regards Jen
