Tasty fennel is a great addition to the garden, and its attractive enough to hold its own in the ornamental garden too. Although it's actually a perennial, we grow fennel as an annual during the cool season. The crunchy bulbs are delicious in salads, and the leaves make a great culinary herb and can also be dried to tide you over for the summer. As an added bonus, fennel is good for the digestive system, so tuck in!

Growing Information
How to Sow
Fennel can be transplanted, but it grows best when sown directly where it is to grow. Cover lightly with soil and keep it well-watered for good germination.
How to Harvest
Snip or pinch off leaves as needed. When the bulb starts to develop, pile mulch around it so that it will blanch. You can store it in the fridge, but fennel is best eaten fresh.
