Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["Wayne" <wa2yne@gmail.com>]

Carrie, I had fennel plants grow for at least two seasons in NY years ago. 
The tops died off, but come spring would grow anew from the roots, which got 
huge.
I had plants that grew 8 feet tall, have pictures somewhere.
Once established, it might grow forever, have to get some growing here now.

Would also like to try growing things like Bok Choy and more...
