What a fine specimen of Selma Fino Fennel! Let's just take a moment to marinate in its glory.
- Close relative to the carrot - Apiaceae / Umbelliferae family (former because bees and pollinators love it, latter because a common observable characteristic among this group is a flower - or inflorescence - that resembles a parasol / sunshade).
- One of three main herbs used to prepare absinthe
- According to internets, in Greek legend, man received knowledge from Mount Olympus in the form of a fiery coal held in a stalk of fennel.
- It makes your salad better. Full stop.
Top left - Lovelock lettuce
Top right - Assorted kale (lacinato/italian/dinosaur + winterbor)

Zucchini! - Black beauty + Soleil
