Fennel is one of my very favorite vegetables, but here are a couple of
things to throw into the mix:

The kind of fennel you find in the store (and seed catalogues) has been bred
for especially large and succulent bulbs; the wild kind may not be as good.

Also, it is said that fennel roots exude some sort of chemical that inhibits
the growth of nearby plants.


Interesting stuff, thanks!
