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.
