Hello,

I've gone from never having a garden to having a lovely to one which has various things growing in it which I have no idea about.

Is this dill?

I'm very clueless but keen to learn.

Not to my eye, dill is a lot darker and has longer fronds. Does it smell of anise at all?

ChocOrange1 · 05/04/2021 18:44

I would say no, dill has longer leaves than that

OnSilverStars · 05/04/2021 18:45

Nope

Looks more like fennel, which smells of aniseed

No it’s definitely not dill! It doesn’t even look like fennel to me, which wouldn’t normally be far out of the ground yet here (but you might be in a warmer part of the country).

Pretty sure it's fennel. Mine is out (foot high) in the North of England.

It does have a slight aniseed smell. maybe fennel. Pic attached.

Also, is this other thing some kind of chard? 😂

Rhubarb and fennel (possibly bronze fennel).

nongnangning · 05/04/2021 18:59

Fennel. Mine is out too.

WheresMyClint · 05/04/2021 19:00

No I think just normal fennel the first pic confused me..

They look like rhubarb and fennel to me

MidnightLoo · 05/04/2021 19:21

Thanks so much!

This is very exciting for me.

I almost bought some rhubarb seeds the other day.

We've got a raised bed which I'm going to start growing in too.

Good job you asked - eating rhubarb leaves wouldn’t do you any good at all!
