Like Lisa, I do grow fennel for the butterflies, but not the bulbing type.<br />Dave @ HappyAcreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441364543023807886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-313396449380749054.post-26206562649385728522022-07-05T06:19:09.038-04:002022-07-05T06:19:09.038-04:00Thanks, Lisa.

We actually grow fennel for the anise swallowtail butterflies, and get our fennel at the store.

I'm kinda with you on the fennel, though I've never grown one as big as yours. It's ok, but I can't get excited about it. I could sure go for a wedge salad though!<br /><br />I'm not in much of a celebratory mood today either, though I reckon we need to cherish our remaining freedoms while we can. I guess if I was a gun lover I would be ecstatic, instead I tend to be often irate lately. Dave @ HappyAcreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441364543023807886noreply@blogger.com
