How to grow fennel on the balcony

sowing

Variety selection

Choose seeds with strong branching ability, lodging resistance and high yield. It is best to choose Shache fennel that has been screened and has full grains.

Sowing method

There are two ways of sowing: winter sowing and spring sowing. Winter sowing is to plant seeds in salted soil before winter, and they can be harvested the following year. Spring sowing is the process of sowing, managing and harvesting in the spring of the same year.

Root Planting

Soil selection

Choose fertile soil with good drainage and sandy soil containing more humus.

Select root

Go to the market and buy whole fennel with roots, and the stems and leaves should be intact.

Specific methods

Pinch off the leaves for consumption, leaving only 1 to 2 leaves in the center.

Plant the remaining part directly in the pot and water it every 3 to 4 days. It can grow normally as long as it is watered, and you only need to eat the leaves each time. Plant each plant 3 to 4 cm apart, and plant a greater number depending on actual conditions.

After about 15 to 20 days, new leaves will grow and can be eaten! Remember to only pick the leaves on the top each time, and don't pull them out by the roots. You can harvest fennel 15 to 20 times.
