TropicanaRoses's Fennel garden
Plantings (16)
Progress Journal (20)
Wish List (0)
Since there is only like one thing that you can grow with it, and I don’t know what flowers grow with it, it will stand alone. But by the look of the leaves, it will be a pretty addition to the look of the back deck!

I love fennel! It’s got to be one of the msot underrated veggies. I will even just slice and douse in olive oil and sea salt and eat straight. Mmm….

Is this a riddle? My companion planting book has been loaned out, so I do not have the answer. I am just learning about plant likes and dislikes. The two particular things that I know are: 1. Many plants are inhibited in one form or fashion by its presence, and that if coriander is present, it will not form seed. That is what I know for sure.

I have been curious to grow fennel but haven’t tried it yet. I was told it kind of tastes like an onion? What do you do with yours?

I have never heard that it tastes like an onion. From personal experience, the seeds taste like licorice. The root I have not tried to eat yet, but I was told that it tastes a bit like licorice as well. I am growing bulb fennel this year because I did not know that there was more than one kind of fennel, so I am going to try the bulb in some things. One of the other folians, nax, has some recipes for the bulb, of which I will avail myself when it is time for harvest. The seeds I use in baking. They go in some types of Itailian cookies, and italian pretzels, and can also be used in some spaghetti sauces.

Dill always asks Fennel to dance at the hoe down. No one else will even get close.

since your book is loaned out, I discovered a site better than my book: Carrots love Tomatoes, thought you might like this.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_companion_plants.
I copied it all and stuck it in my plant database file in Excel. Now it’s searchable! Doubleclick on a plant in Excel and your browser takes you to the entry in Wikipedia for that plant. Very neat.

poetinthewood- I saved it too! Thanks! My book is also Carrots Love Tomatoes . Both that and my SFG book are out on loan. I am waiting to get the latter back because I want to get my Google calender set up, and that is where I get my info from. It worked pretty well for us this year, so I am planning to use it as a guide for next year as well.
