I know bulb fennel is different from herb fennel but can you use the tops of bulb fennel like the herb?
I was at an organic farm shop today and they were selling 'fennel tops' for 20p and bulbs separately, and I THINK they're from the same plants, but not sure.
Also, I've fennel here for the first time (bulbs in the raised bed and herb in a pot) and not sure when to harvest the bulbs, they're pretty big now so I'm guessing this week - do they go woody at some point, bolt, or just get huge? And do they freeze or will they keep in the ground like carrots until needed?
It seemed a good idea to try new veg but of course I've no clue what to do with what I have grown now!
