Fennel seeds - Rondo F1 is a quick growing variety with uniform, round white bulbs. This variety is good for summer and autumn production. A vegetable plant to grace any plot, an attractive vegetable with tall stems and feathery green foliage. Unlike the fennel in the herb section which is grown specifically for its leaves, the Florence Fennel is grown for the bulbous swollen plant base which can be used chopped raw in salads, braised as a vegetable or added to delicious winter casseroles. It has a mild aniseed flavour with a texture much like celery.

 Notes: Do not transplant

WHEN TO SOW April to May

WHERE TO SOW Sow direct into vegetable plot , sow seeds thinly along rows 2cm (3/4in) deep and 30-45cm (12-18in) between the rows.

WHAT TO DO NEXT Fennel does not like root disturbance so should not be transplanted. Thin seedlings as soon as large enough to handle to 25-30cm (10-12in) apart. Water well until plants are established. As the swollen stems start to develop, gradually build earth up around them to preserve the whiteness and flavour.

MATURITY Bulbs ready from September and October, Leaves can be used from July.

HANDY TIP The whole plant has a flavour, leaves for fish dishes, stems and bulbs raw in salads or braised as a vegetable.

NUTRITIONAL VALUES Rich in antioxidant flavonoides and vitamin C as well as a good source of fibre.
