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.
