Hi,
snip
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

I am asking about the bulb/whatever at the base of the plant that you
braise
as a vegetable.

Florence Fennel, again from D.G.Hessayon '...... water when the weather is
dry and earth up when it reaches the size of a golf ball.Continue earthing
up till it's the size of a tennis ball (July - September).
Slice for serving raw in salads or boil for 30 - 40 mins and serve with
butter, white or cheese sauce.' HTH.
