Fennel (Italian Kitchen)

Fennel - Finocchio Mantovano.

Superb Variety of excellent quality. Early maturing. Pure white bulbs. Sow thinly direct into finely raked moist, warm soil at a depth of 13mm (1/2) in rows 45cm (18) apart. Thin seedlings to 30cm (12) between plants. When the base of the stem begins to swell carefully draw up the soil to cover half the swelling. Water regularly during periods of dry weather. Early sowings may induce bolting.
