 Wow, thanks!  This is exactly what I was looking for!  I've fallen in love 
 with these, guess now I'll have to try growing some to candy.  I've already 
 have a couple of ginger plants in progress...

    No problem--and they are tasty, aren't they? Our one and only Indian 
restaurant has them in a bowl by the cash register, and I've found them in 
one of the Middle Eastern shops, too. And by all means grow some fennel--it's 
quite easy. Be aware that it's also quite tall, though! ;-) Plant it where 
that works well. Here in Tennessee, I kept one plant for several years, and 
it stayed green (Well, sort of--it was a Bronze fennel plant! ;-) ) pretty 
much all winter. Need to get more started--I miss having the fronds to snip 
at will.
    But don't wait on a crop of your own to try the recipes! I don't have any 
trouble buying fennel seed in the stores and herb shops around here, but if 
you do, try mail ordering it. Sirene Spicers, mentioned by another lady 
(Lucky you, to live near them! Nice gentleman, too--he's also on the Cook's 
list.) is a great source. Their website is at:    <A
