I purchased the little pot of fennel as an experiment. Just to try growing something I’d never tried before. After an initial mishap involving watering (or lack thereof), the herb seems to be doing alright. Still haven’t really cooked with it yet, but I do love the shadows it casts.

These images make me think of settings for fairy tales, for some reason. They look fairy-tale-ish. Also let us not forget that we get “narthex” from the Greek word for fennel!
Okay, you remind me that each day we learn something new. I had no idea about the origin of the word narthex. 😉
