Rocket, Rocket and more Rocket!!!

Two years ago I decided on planting a little rocket on my raised beds in our Poly tunnel. Everything went fine until now I cant get rid of the dam stuff!

Its growing everywhere in the tunnel. At the start of this season, I got rid of all the rocket that was visible, only to find after I started to water all the new plants in the beds, that it is taking over yet again, growing in between my onions, garlic, lettuce etc, etc.


What can I do???

Keep pulling them out before they set seed. I'm not a fan of rocket I must admit, I see it as a weed. It grows from seed to maturity in a few weeks, then sets seed all over the place. You can get three or four generations of the stuff per year. There'll be hundreds of seeds in your soil. Just keep pulling it as it comes up.

 

Thanks for posting.

My clump is now going to get pulled out before it seeds.

First year of growing it and cant work out what all the fuss is about.
