    I am growing Rocket early pots in a potato barrel. The leaves have been covered as they grew in the normal method. The leaves are now at the top of the barrel and I am letting them grow on. Problem is that the leaves look a bit poorly. Bobbly and a little curly is the only way to describe them. Is this a symptom of a problem or do they always look like that (I haven't grown Rocket before) The later salad pots in the bags next to them look fine. Grateful for advice.

    Potato leaves sometimes are realy curled up to start with when they are growing strongly, it might just be normal. Any chance of a photo, its really difficult to guess what it might be.
