    Hi Guys

    Got some rocket growing a pot its watered regularly mainly at night when cooler but at the moment the leaves have gone brown and curled inwards is it a case that i have lost this crop?

    It doesn't sound good. Did they flower? I'd start off another batch now anyway.

    Mine are running to seed really quickly now, just pulled up a batch and threw them on the compost and planted another batch in their place. I will sow another seed tray tomorrow to keep the succession going,

    Terry, I think it could be a combination of overwatering and chilly nights.:dbgrtmb:

    They only get watered once every 3 nights.
