Bulb fennel - no bulb, no seeds

I grew some bulb fennel from seed, and planted it out in a plastic trough.
The result is no bulb (there was a hint of one at one point) and no seed.
However there is now new growth from the base.
I am a little bemused by this because I thought you could use bulb fennel
as a multi-purpose crop for leaves and seeds if you don't harvest the
whole plant for the bulb.
I am now wondering if a bulb might be produced in the second or subsequent
season.
Any experiences?
Normally it grows with bulb and then when big enough runs to
flower/seed quite quickly. Certainly not a second season crop, indeed
two or three months at most.
