Going with the Flo

[Florence Fennel]

Bran ......could be the answer Flo .....it's meant to make slugs explode

Ooh forgive me, but I do like the sound of that

[Florence Fennel]

I might try all of the above, thank you!

I've pretty much given up on FF. So now I grow bronze fennel I've not used it yet, but erm it grows rather large. It's pretty though.

[Normans Mum]

Don't know what to do now. I have 6 fennel babies growing at the moment. Might try the eggshell approach...

[taff]

Mine have never been eaten by slugs, but then, I have slow worms, so I dont know whether they aren't eating it, or they aren't around to eat it.
Keep an eye on it every day though, it will bolt overnight. Sow more in June

[Florence Fennel]

Unlike me to be early I'll sow more in June, thanks Taff.

Next BBQ get a big shallow flat/slightly dished pan you a lid for,lay a good thick bed of fennel fronds in it,lay whole fish on top (having stuffed cavity with lime slices & a sprig of rosemary) lid on & bung it over the charcoal for 10-15 min's letting the fennel smoke the fish,add a good splash of white wine & let it steam (lid on) until cooked through.

Sounds lovely. I'm not keen on fish though - but will give it a shot

Florence Fennel is nice grilled on the barbie .......We just slice it , drissle with olive oil and griddle it .

[binley100]

OMG .........why do I now feel like a cannibal......

[Florence Fennel]

Sounds like me sunbathing Bins, something I try to avoid these days as I end up looking griddled and dressed in oil

[Florence Fennel]

Hey BTW congratulations. Metal Guru - T Rex. Wrong thread.

Well spotted Flo .........it could disappear in a twinkling of Nicos's scissors as she chops the chat ......
