Default Fennel - do you have to eat it young?

Hi,

I have a fennel plant that has seeded in a brick path, and has been there
for several years.

Each year I mean to dig it up in the winter, then forget.

During the summer it is in totally the wrong place but I think I might use
the leaves, or wait for the seeds (which I usually forget to gather).

So - is the root likely to be still edible?
If so, when can it be harvested?
Now, or at the end of the season when the foliage is dying back?

Cheers
Dave R
