  • Great for finocchietto 5

    Posted by Jenny on 30th Apr 2020

    I have a patch of these that seems to manage to overwinter and come back each year (zone 7). Good for pasta con le sarde and fritters. But most of all it makes a great finocchietto liquer. Pollinators love it too.

  • Wild fennel 4

    Posted by Jackie R on 16th Mar 2020

    I planted the seeds as soon as I received them. It grew fast. The fennel is beginning to flower. I brought back wild fennel seeds found along the road in Sicily. It's not the same wild fennel I found. The plants look different. I'll pass judgment after I make fennel sausage with the seeds.
