    Flowering plant near the bottom is rocket - lucky you, mine is not ready for picking yet!

    I can't tell if the top plant is a coriander or flat-leaved parsley. Either way, very tasty

    Looks like the rocket is running to seed, you need to pinch off the flowers otherwise you'll stop getting any new leaf growth.

      Very true, @JWK.

      Personally, I would leave one flower spike, near the back of the clump, to set seed. This way, @Anth will have a permenant colony of yummy rocket....
