Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[Carrie Shepard <carrieshepard@yahoo.com>]

Dieter,  What source material do you have for the Hildegard de Bingen comment 
on fenneL?  I love the one small book I have on her, have to pull it out and 
re-read.

I didn't know you could do that with fennel, leaving the bulb portion.  I 
love fennel and my son loves chewing the seeds.  I'll have to get some 
growing this spring, haven't been successful since we moved.

I found fennel lovely in carrot/apple juice, apple/fennel pie, 
soups,definitely a multipurpose veggie/herb!  The seeds are wonderful added 
to homemade chai tea blends.

blessings,
Carrie
