I'm new to growing rocket, my question is - once you have harvested rocket, can you let it re-grow and harvest again, if so how many times can you harvest of the one plant or once you have harvested, must you replant

In Vancouver. Just pick 1/2 or 1/3 of the leaves and it will continue to regenerate. I've been doing that for months now. I pinch the flowers to prevent bolting but will probably let a few go so it can self seed for next year.
