Bulbing Fennel

A bulbing variety of fennel that is easy to grow and pretty to look at!  

Plant fennel in full sun, in soil amended with compost and a good high nitrogen fertilizer.  Water regularly and keep soil consistently moist to produce large, thick bulbs.  Harvest when bulbs are about 3-5 inches wide and have a nice white coloring.

Put thin slices of fennel in a salads.  Fennel also has an amazing flavor cut into large chunks, coated with olive oil and sea salt and baked until very tender.
