Fennel is delicious roasted and ridiculously expensive at the store, so
I'm considering trying to grow some in a raised bed this year.
Has anyone ever grown them and how much water do they like?
I live in Central Texas near Austin.
Here, in northern California, they grow wild with no attention afforded
to them.
I planted fennel 3 odd years back to attract insects. We use the bulbs from
time to time. We just let it go & it gets the same, or less, water than the
veges. Every so often I give it a hack back & that encourgaes new growth.
Still going strong this summer.

They are good for Tiger Swallowtail larvae... And it'd keep them off
the dill weed!
