Growing fennel from seeds is quite straightforward and rewarding. Here’s a concise guide:
1. Prepare for Planting
Timing: Sow fennel seeds directly in the garden after the last frost or start them indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date.
Soil: Use well-draining soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0. Fennel prefers loose, rich soil.
2. Sow the Seeds
Planting Depth: Sow fennel seeds 1/4 inch deep. Space seeds about 12 inches apart if planting directly in the garden.
Indoor Planting: Use seed trays or pots, sowing seeds on the surface and covering lightly with soil.
3. Watering
Initial Watering: Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Water lightly to aid germination.
Ongoing Care: Once seedlings emerge, water regularly, ensuring the soil stays consistently moist but not soggy.
4. Light Requirements
Sunlight: Fennel needs full sun, so ensure the plants receive at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day.
5. Care and Maintenance
Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer if needed, but fennel generally does well with minimal fertilization.
Pruning: Thin seedlings to 12 inches apart to allow for ample growth and prevent overcrowding.
6. Harvesting
Timing: Harvest fennel bulbs when they are about 3-4 inches in diameter. For seeds, allow the seed heads to dry on the plant before harvesting.
Enjoy growing fennel for its aromatic leaves, seeds, and crunchy bulbs!
