Could anyone let me know how to tell the difference between a dill and
fennel plant. I think I have one in the garden with feathery leaves
and is about 6 feet tall. I checked some books in the library for both
plants' ID but I still can't tell the difference. Please advise.


Someone else will probably be able to give you a better answer, but...
what does it smell like? Break some off and crush it a bit. If it
smells like dill pickles, it's dill. If it smells like licorice/anise,
it's fennel.
