Fennel is a cool weather crop that grows best in spring or fall. Growing fennel for its base that has a texture like celery.

Though you can sow fennel directly into your garden it works better to start them indoors and then transplant them into your garden.

Plant fennel six to eight inches apart.

Fennel grows quickly and can be harvested any time after the bulbs get to be about three inches in diameter. Pull out the entire plant and cut away the roots and most of the foliage.

When fennel is picked small the bulbs are sweet and crunchy. Young fennel is delicious raw, and can be sliced thinly and added to any salad.

When fennel bulbs get to be five or six inches across they get to be a bit tough to eat raw but are still good for soups and stews. Likewise, the bulbs are wonderful braised with fish or meats.

To make sure you have enough fennel, start a new batch every two weeks. It takes no time at all for these seedlings to be ready for your garden so you can have fennel growing all season long. For a Fall crop of fennel, for example, start your seeds in July.

    Tx for the video. Question: the seeds you plant, are they the same as the seeds found in the grocery spice department?

    I am getting conflicting information about fennel. Many say avsolutely do NOT plant in vegetable garden. But you are showing it going into your vegetable garden here. What is the difference?

    I was given fennel from the stalk (with no base). Could I still grow it?

    Edit: no you can’t

    Thanks, Kathy! Great tips for growing the fennel. Could you please tell me after the bulbs are cut away, would the roots reproduce new bulbs or do I need to plant new seedlings?

    If you're going to show someone using a knife, at least show someone who knows how to use one properly.

    How-To Grow means when to sow, how deep to sow the seeds, what type of soil, how long it takes to germinate, when to transplant, how much sunlight, how much water, fertilizing, pest control etc. However, nothing much is discussed in the video about "How to grow fennel". Mostly about harvesting and cooking.

  23. Sil Bombardi

    The most important are: full or partial sun, and which season is the best to start planting fennel. After reading your "professional" reply, I will subscribe and copy from the others: Thanks, thank you, best, etc.
