Instead of one-and-done harvesting for the market, learn to harvest fennel so that your garden plants last all through the season. Plus, tips to winterize your organic veggies so they don't rot when the rains come.

Thank you for sharing your wisdom. This is my first year growing fennel, and I'm here to learn more about it.

More coming soon! Perhaps I'll have Dennis tall me about starting and transplanting fennel as well. It's a fussy plant sometimes :D

@@SoilSoulandSpirit, I grew mine from seed this year. It's doing well. I can grow it, but I'm unsure how to care for it during the season or how to use it in cooking. I think I'm going to harvest some feathery stems and dry them like I would my herbs. I'll also freeze some to use in soups.

@@Dragons_NovelI hear fish, cooked in a bed of fennel leaves with a pad of butter on top, salt, pepper and perhaps garlic and onion is quite a tasty way to use it... Although it's often discarded after it imparts it's subtle flavor to the fish. I hope you find this helpful. ✌️

I've found that, when I cut my bulb off, I get new shoots off the root that grow into me bulbs. I like to pick mine young.

@SoilSoulandSpirit Жыл бұрын

That works too, but the bulbs are smaller as you say. So many ways to harvest. That's the beauty of artisanal!

Holy smokes! Thank you so much for sharing! I was wondering what I was doing wrong with the fennel, as they're getting plenty of nutrients (some flowering stalks are above the roof line in height). Is there a way to use the fennel stalks as, or just before, they're flowering? Just trying to use what I have and understand it a little better. Thanks again! I found this very helpful!

@SoilSoulandSpirit Жыл бұрын

We love to eat the flower buds and young seeds on salads or as a fresh snack. The stem might be kind of woody. It sounds like they bolted, which is when it goes to flower early. Can be heat, mineral imbalance, or daylight hours.

Can you cut the top leaves off to dry? I live in an area where we get a lot of snow starting as early as November. When do you suggest I harvest? Thank you for the tips on growing🙏🏽🌸

@SoilSoulandSpirit Жыл бұрын

Certainly! You could dry and chop like dill. The best part is the white bulb though, it's like a sweet celery. Timing for harvest is largely dependent on how you want to eat it. Fronds or stalks. They can survive a light frost, but I would harvest them before the snows come. growingformarket.com/articles/growing-fennel-bulb-herb-pollen
