Mizuna is hardy.  I sowed mine a couple of weeks ago - in the tunnel but it can still be frosty in there.  Rocket I don't know about as I don't like it  ;D   Other salad leaves are tender - I start mine off in modules indoors to give them a headstart, then plant outside later.  You get so many seeds in a packet though that it's always worth giving them a go outside and see if the good weather keeps up. If not, sow more  :)
