The green fennel bulb can be used to promote your own health, and not just in the form of fennel tea. As a fresh vegetable, fennel is also an easily digestible ingredient for mixed vegetables and purees. Depending on the cultivation in Central Europe, its season usually extends from June to October.
Sow staggered for a longer season
If you sow the fennel in your garden at two or three different times, you can enjoy the harvesting season in summer and autumn correspondingly longer. Fennel should be harvested before it becomes woody, when its bulb is about the size of a fist.
tips and tricks
Under certain circumstances, fennel sown in midsummer can still be harvested before winter, but it should be planted either in a winegrowing climate or in a raised bed.
