I also seem to have acquired a scattering of rocket seedlings, presumably self-sown at the point a few days ago when I cut down the parent plants and harvested the pods. They look identical but taste different :-p
One of this year's strawberries has managed to root a runner successfully in the neighbouring cornflower pot -- that second batch of cornflowers is still going. I have been taking off all the other runners since I want the young plants to concentrate on 'hearting up' rather than spreading themselves out, but that one has rooted itself firmly and may as well stay!
