Default Rocket seed
I sowed some two weeks ago when the weather was quite warm and the packet
assured me I could sow them outside in late March.

Nothing showing yet. How long do they take to germinate - or did I sow them
just too early?
I am a first time rocket planter..

We planted some in a coldframe, and they were doing quite nicely (early
March), but some bloody slug or something has munched right through all
of them and my carrots (but not, oddly, the River Cottage lettuce seeds)

Should be OK as long as you planted them facing upwards.

That's scientific. It isn't brain surgery, though.
