Hello, I have planted rocket for the first time....I have picket continuously leaves ..my question is when they flower ....i was told to keep seeds for the next year and I also want to give to some old ladies...but I dont know when to pick the seeds...i know your probably laughing ..are the seeds on top of the flower or are they the long green bean looking from the stem.??? also a tip the Greeks and Italians also boil them, drain and add olive oil and lemon and they don't taste bitter at all just like we do with silverbeet..

Mary, Your rocket should have formed seeds by now. They are like tiny pea pods and you can pick them when they go yellow. Pop them into a paper bag and they will crack open.
