Growing Florence fennel for the first time.I assume you thin them out but how far apart
Can you replant the thinnings elsewhere?
The greatness comes not when things go always good for you,but the greatness comes when you are really tested,when you take,some knocks,some disappointments;because only if youv'e been in the deepest valley can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain.
Joy Larkcom's 'bible' reckons space plants 12-14" apart. It also says when harvesting cut the bulb at least 1" above the soil level, leaving the root in the ground to resprout. The small shoots that grow can be used in salads, so I can't see why you couldn't do the same with thinnings, or transplant them and see how they grow.

And a heaven in a wild flower
I'm growing it for the first time too. So far it looks good. They're much closer than Joy Larkom's recommendation. I'm going to leave them and eat them small if I have to, or eat the thinnings. I'll be happy to get anything.
