I wonder if the fronds could be used to make a fennel pesto? Could be interesting. There was an Iron Chef episode in which fennel was the secret ingredient. They even used fennel pollen, which I would never have thought of doing. I wish they'd post recipes, but they don't. I hope you get that garden plot, Linda, but even if you don't, most veggies, even fennel, can be grown in containers on your patio if you get enough light. I got my son to make Alice Water's fennel and parmesan salad for Christmas dinner. It just used the bulb, but oh, it was sooooo good. I was skeptical, being so simple, but it was really, really good. I checked my Deborah Madison cookbook, and she says she hasn't found much use for the stalks other than for soup stocks - the stalks for stocks, heh heh. Barbara Kafka, in her book, Vegetable Love, recommends drying the stalks, and using them on top of the coals when grilling fish. She dries her own by hanging them in bunches in a dark place. She differentiates between the wild fennel that grows in California and along the shores of the Mediterranean and Florence Fennel, which is the one with the "bulb." As for the bronze fennel, I love the flavor of it's leaves. One of my favorite uses for it is to saute carrot coins in butter, with salt and pepper to taste, till they're just tender, then add a sprinkling of diced bronze fennel leaves and serve. Here's the shaved fennel salad, which I got from the blog, Orangette. The commentary preceding the recipe is hers. Shaved Fennel Salad with Mushrooms and Parmesan Adapted from Alice Waters and Julia Child Part of what makes this salad feel special is its elegant, layered presentation. But if youre short on time or just dont feel like fussing you can certainly toss it in a bowl like any other salad. As for variations, you can try adding a dash of truffle oil for some sophistication and snazz, or, if youre feeling frisky, try replacing the mushrooms with paper-thin slices of Asian pear. We thought of that a couple of days ago, when we shared an Asian pear after big plates of this salad. The mingling of flavors was fantastic. Needless to say, its next on our list. 1 medium fennel bulb, about 10-12 ounces 5 or 6 small mushrooms, preferably crimini or white button Good-quality olive oil A lemon Sea salt, such as Maldon A hunk of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese Freshly ground black pepper First, prepare the fennel. If it still has its feathery fronds, cut them off at the base of their stalks, and discard them. Rinse the bulb under cool water, and dry it thoroughly. Using a vegetable peeler or paring knife, trim away any bruises or brown spots on the very outermost "skin" of the fennel. Cut the bulb in half from root to stalk, and trim the root end. Using a sharp knife or a mandoline, slice the fennel as thinly you possibly can. Now, prepare the mushrooms. Wipe away any dirt on their surface with a damp paper towel, and trim off and discard the stem end. Using a sharp knife or a mandoline, slice the mushrooms very thinly. Assemble the salad in layers on a large platter or, if you prefer, on individual plates. First, make a layer of fennel slices. Drizzle lightly with olive oil. Then place a layer of mushrooms on top of the fennel. Drizzle lightly with lemon juice, and season with salt. Using a vegetable peeler, cut thin shavings of the cheese, and arrange them on top of the mushrooms. Add another layer of fennel, followed by a light drizzle of oil, and then another layer of mushrooms, lemon juice, salt, and cheese. Repeat until you run out of fennel and mushrooms; you might have two layers of each, or you might have more; it doesnt much matter. Finish the salad with a good drizzle of lemon juice and a hearty splash of oil, and garnish with a few shavings of cheese. Serve immediately, with salt and pepper to taste. Yield: 2 quite generous servings, or 4 side servings Sally

I think the seed exchange has been decimated by people moving over to Facebook. Plus, there is such an extensive list of "bad traders," some added for absolutely no reason except that someone didn't like the trade they got, that it's become almost a clique. Please PM me. I may be able to help, depending on where you live.
