I’ve had mixed success over the past several seasons with Victorio and Perfection varieties, so am hopeful that Preludio will produce better. I'm considering interspersing the transplants among my garlic that is sprouting for better bed utilization, but the spacing is likely too tight. Along with the shaved fennel and apple salad, I’ve found fennel pairs well with thinly sliced celery (and I’m not a huge fan of celery).

Perfect timing! Or if not perfect (which is my fault), then most certainly excellent. I decided this year is my year to try growing bulb fennel, so this video couldn't have been posted at a better day and hour, quite literally. Our fennel seeds will get sown indoors today, about a week later than your timeline. The only hitch is, the seed I have is for Florence fennel (although I have seed for bronze fennel, too), so we'll see what happens in the erratic Ohio spring, but betcha that for a fall harvest I can find one of your recommended varieties in time to make that sowing for fall. The one thing this Ohio gardener can give fennel is excellent drainage: I'm gardening on what was either an ancient beach head, super sandy, or an ancient stream bed, ditto. So now all we have to do is pray for mild temperatures which the Lake might or might not help with: it's only a few Fahrenheit degrees but as I know you know a few degrees of difference in temperature which a human might not notice can be the literal difference between living and dying for a plant.

Often bulb fennel is actually not grown during the Spring, because it tends to bolt even in the Mediterranean, just like Chinese cabbage. So it is advised to sow it in early June. And yeah you can just sow it in cells, pots, etc... it can handle one transplanting. It doesn't need cool temps, it can handle 40° heat just fine, that tap root will find water easily and the foliage doesn't expose it to excess perspiration. A June sowing gives you fennels in late August/early September. In France, some people sow them even in August, for a harvest in late autumn or in winter (it can handle about -4°C). However, rodents tend to love these late season fennels, once in November they ate a few from the inside out. Looking at them they were fine, but the bulb was only left with the outer layer, and the root had been eaten as well. They don't work in summer in your area ? I love to eat them with a fish wrapped in aluminium foil with summer veggies, some slices of lemon, fresh sage and in the oven. If you want to use the seeds as spice, it's a different variety of fennel you need to use. Otherwise with flowering bulb fennel you will get hollow seeds with no taste, or no seeds at all.

Oh! Good to know about the rodents. I've not had that issue yet, but I had a similar thing happen with late season cauliflower- so now I'll know to be on the lookout.

I’m hoping for better luck with celery this year. The great thing about clay soil is it holds nutrients and water which celery and fennel love. Your video sounded so calm as my last nerve was being stepped on by inconsiderate neighbors running sport vehicles--🤬🤬🤬 So as I try and calm down and considering being a thorn in the town boards side until an ordinance is passed, I will Try to garden as peacefully as I can. It’s ruff for those of us that can’t handle noise and fumes and can’t get away from the noise even inside your home. I don’t like this area and think a move will be in the future. Those fennel and celery you grew are beautiful.

That is what I love about my clay soil too! I'm so sorry that you have to deal with that. I'm one of those people who is really sensitive to noise and smells and this would really bother me too.

@@GrowfullywithJenna feels like your in prison because no one can do anything unless they make an ordinance or get atty. the cheaper and quicker route is probably to move. I had a Golden that hyperventilated during storms and fireworks and it’s awful to watch and I know how she felt. I will have more plants to relocate than stuff😊. It would be work, but if I can find a peaceful place it will be worth it. Maybe I will get clay soil🤣

We grew fennel last year but they bolted too early and didn't get good stalks at all :(

@@GrowfullywithJenna Not for now. I find those and brassicas are a challenge to keep growing without bolting.
