Rocket - wild or wall?

摘要

ReCENT YEARS have seen a revival of interest in salads in British gardens, and a wide range of genera and species in several plant families ate now grown for 'cut-and-come' leaves. Rocket is now familiar to most UK gardeners, although I can remember only some 20 years ago having to explain exactly what it was to a group of tourists served a salad of its smoky, cress-flavoured, pinnatifid leaves during a wildflower tour in Turkey. But its identity is again somewhat uncertain, as it is clear that today more than one species of salad rocket is being grown in Britain.
