Hi Gardener, it looks lovely but it's bolted. Rocket tastes much better when it's small & I usually snap off any flower heads which start to appear to prolong the season. If you leave one or two to self seed though if you have them outdoors then you should get it coming up again next year.

Dohhh....I've just realised that now that I've re-read the title of the thread!!!

It's bolted alright! It's been difficult to get good pictures as it's becoming quite massive. Here's one for now:

And a focus on the flowers:

The leaves taste awful, even on a normal sized plant which i'm also growing. I haven't tried the flowers yet. I only wish they were psychedelic! ...
