I sowed a couple of rows of fennel bulbs for the first time earlier
this summer. They have put on nice healthy foliage and are now
starting to form flowers, but the "bulb" end is no thicker than 2
fingers on the larger ones. Should I wait for it to thicken out? Or
is it yet another victim of the downpourey "summer"? Or is it the
sort of thing that doesn't do well in our moist and relatively cool
climate?
