Rocket to me, are "meh" potatoes. Neither here nor there. I (no idea why) have grown rocket alongside charlotte (yes, yes not a 1st early) since 2008, and each time I think why do I bother. They don't taste "new", if that makes sense... even if they're cooked instantly. Much better as a jacket spud, if left to grow large.
By gum! Seed spud seem to have gone up in price :O
One of the reasons spuds turn to mush is that some people go straight from garden to pan.
Spuds are about 80% water so they are best left a couple of days before use.

Although by leaving them a couple of days you loose some of the wonderful newness taste you can get with grow your own so there's pros and cons with everything.

Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
