Sweet Fennel

Sweet Fennel.  a large bush grown from seed, thrives in a storage tote turned self watering container.  It wicks water up from the bottom of the tote.  It drinks 5 gallons a week easily.

What do I do with it?  Chop off a bunch and strain off the soft feathery leaves and mix it raw into hot rice and beans.  Adding a little olive oil and maybe tomatoes (grape cherry or just chunks of whole tomatoes) makes it a meal.  Adding some sunflower seeds or pistachios makes it a bit better.
