Default bolting rocket

My second planting of rocket, planted about a month ago (same seed packet,
different side of same pots), hasn't grown any usefully edible leaves, but
has taken off and gone straight to flower. What have I done to give it
such a fright?


Perhaps it is hotter and drier this month?
I think rocket bolts if it is too dry, but I may be wrong.
