Last year I decided on bronze fennel instead of Florence (bulb) and our winter was so mild it’s still growing. I already let cilantro, dill, basil, arugula, nasturtiums and borage seed around the fruit trees so letting fennel go is no big deal. The more the merrier for the pollinators!
I think I’ll start some bulbing fennel too; I have seed to use up. Yes, it’s a bit slow to germinate.
Arugula and fennel salad is the best.
