Fennel fronds are awesome. They are so underrated but so delicous in meals and a veggie in their own right, like beetroot leaves! So good.
Everything seems to be off to a great start this year Katie! I know what you mean about the cucumbers. Have you tried, funnily enough, putting sliced cucumber around or cabbage leaves so the bugs eat that? When I tried it I'd check the cabbage leaves daily and chuck that one o'yonder with the bugs on it. It seemed to work! Homegrown cucumber is next level on store bought, isn't it?
Can't wait to see what you'll be cooking at the end of season with this abundance! Yay for baby bunnies, just not in my garden - grrr!
I'm so glad I thought to use the fennel in my water because there really is so much of it that it's hard to keep up! I love the flavor so much.
Cucumbers may not be in the cards this year. I'm wondering if that bed just isn't the right spot for them. Hopefully @dksart's mom gets plenty on her plants. She will generally share if she's got lots! Though even better when she shares in the form of her fermented pickles. Salivating thinking about those...
In good news, we think the bunny has picked a different "bed" somewhere else in the yard.
