I think this is linked with the dry/cold/wet/hot weather cycles we're
having, much as the late crops thread I started is.

A similar thing has happened with my spinach, which I know is prone to
bolting. I think it has just been too dry.
A question; have you used the same variety of rocket that you used
last year? Some are more for seed, some for leaf.
