Rocket is no problem. It will grow in any normal UK conditions,
including light and even moderate frost, except during the lightless
days of midwinter (when nothing will). Sow now for autumn use.

I save my own seed, and it seeds itself, but isn't a pernicious weed.

Ours all went the way of the slugs, the while row!



Coriander is a right b*gg*r at any time of year, and I am one of
the many people who has never grown it successfully. It needs
continual warmth, water and fairly high humidity, so is very hard
to grow well in the UK except in a controlled environment.

The best Coriander we have had was a self seeded clump that came up amongst
our potatoes a couple of years ago, took some time to run to seed unlike the
deliberately planted stuff.
