i was so excited to see info about mother earth news. i didn't think it was still around. you always had such useful and responsible articles.

Tim,
I start seeds indoors, grow them in my best soil, and give the plants plenty of water (they have shallow roots), and eventually I get beautiful bulbs. I say eventually because they take much longer to size up than the seed packets say, at least in my garden and that of a local organic grower. I'd like to hear if others agree that patience is the trick.
When you do harvest a bulb, you can cut it horizontally so you leave a chunky stub, and several small bulbs will grow out of it if the weather cooperates.

I can not get my Florence Fennel to form a bulb. What do I need to do?
Thank you, Tim
