I have only grown Rocket in bags with not particularly great results but Dunluce has produce good yields of lovely potatoes in bags and the veg patch!

I like rocket.
I usually keep a few tubers back and plant in a container around June/july for new potatoes for christmas dinner.
The tubers shrivel up a bit but still work.

That's interesting....you'll have to tell us your secret for Christmas spuds.There was a conversation on here a few weeks ago and nobody who commented had had any real success.Just marble sized spuds by Christmas!

I grew 'Rocket' in containers a couple of years ago and found them tasteless. I have grown Suttons' 'Foremost' in both containers and in the gound and have been pleased with the results.

Haven't tried Rocket but Lady Cristl and Casablanca are both nice. Lady C are grown commercially at one farm near here.
