HiI tried growing this last year in the garden, and didn't get much of a result it didn't have a "bulb", it was just long and thin and the others just went to seed. So this year I want to try again but up on the allotment which is heavy clay in parts. Now I know Fennel doesn't like clay! What I'd like is some tips on how best to grow it. I have a spare crate that I could add some top soil/grit into, but it is fairly small, or I could create a sort of trench using some top soil & multi-purpose compost, and grow them in there. Would you guys recommend trying to start them off in modules, I've heard they don't like transplanting, would loo rolls work? Or would I be better trying to sow direct? also when do I sow, I keep reading late spring / late summer so it doesn't bolt, so I'm presuming now would be a good time to try the 1st batch. basically lots of questions - and all about Fennel!Thanks 1066
