FLORENCE FENNEL SEEDS (Foeniculum vulgare) QTY 300 seeds Sowing: Start Florence fennel seeds indoors about a month before the last frost, planting them in peat pots 1/4" deep; keep the temperature around 65-75 degrees F for best germination. Fennel can also be direct sown as soon as the soil temperature reaches 65 degrees F. Space the seedlings or seeds about 12" apart in fertile, well drained soil and full sun. Transplant the seedlings carefully, since shock may cause them to bolt. Fennel must be planted away from other garden plants, since it tends to have a negative effect on their growth. Growing: Keep the plants consistently moist. A layer of mulch will help conserve moisture, while controlling weeds and blanching the tender fennel bulb. Harvesting: The leaves and stalks can be harvested whenever they reach a desirable size. Harvest lightly at first to prevent stunting the growth of the bulb. The bulb has the best flavor and tenderness at a diameter of 4". When it reaches this size, harvest the entire plant. For best freshness and flavor, fennel should be used within 2 days after harvesting. To collect the seed, gather the seed heads individually when the seed begins to ripen to a light brown. Spread them out to dry, then rub them gently to separate the seed from the stalks; store the seed in an airtight container.
