Growing Fennel: From Seed to 4" Pots

I shot this over several days to show how easy it is to grow this plant from regular fennel seeds used in cooking.

The next time you go to a Chinese Restaurant to eat, ask for chop sticks. They make great tools for poking holes in dirt (peat pellets) and for pricking out sprouted seedlings to plant into those little holes you just made. Enjoy and thanks for sharing

This was one of the best videos I've seen on growing fennel. I'ld guess the same process will work with other herb seeds too! The smell of fennel is so sweet I love it!

[@omkomal9898]

Yes you are right i did the same with fenugreek and coriander.

[@seeamerica1]

I add fennel seeds to all my salads + pasta dishes, it helps to keep me from unwanted bloating.

The best video about growing fennel from seed. I happen to have a bag of fennel seeds from the kitchen cabinet. Save me buying from the garden centre. Thanks so much! :)

[@paulitza9]

Thank you for sharing this ... my mother used to give me a lot of fennel ... she really knew what was good for me ... thank you mum.

[@theresa94010]

Never thought to use seeds from the pantry. Good idea ! Will try that from now on.

[@danrt50]

from what i found, it means you should transplant them soon. i don't know how warm it it where you are, but it's heading into winter here and its not warm enough for me to grow them now. if it's hot where you are and you can keep them around 20C and give them sunlight, they should be okay.

l just use egg shell (poke some holes all over) to hold the soil and seed， and later transfer/dump the whole thing into the new big pot🙂

Awesome video! thanks! i am plating some today for my butterfly garden!

[@pradeepshah100]

Just throw a hand full of fennel seeds in a bed of sand and cover with Dirt mixed with compose and thats it this guy is doing the Einstein way

[@jhumrutalaiya6984]

+pradeep shah Absolutely!

[@barbaracoveny3026]

thank you so much , very informative, your better then Martha Stewart

[@plantgurugangsta7299]

did you soak them? I've heard others say they did not germinate without soaking..that they tried both ways...

[@omkomal9898]

Thanks sir, its very helpful information. can you please help me with information of fertilizer for fennel plant? which fertilizer and when we should add in plant?

[@kellystevens1452]

What a load of messing about all you need is either a flat tray or very small pots to put seeds in. Two to four seeds in each cover soil over seeds water in. Cover seed containers with cling film. Make sure soil is kept moisture the rest is time.

[@plantgurugangsta7299]

Lol..fork? or just use your hands..🤷‍♀️best tool of all!😉

[@plantgurugangsta7299]

I suppose if you have bigger hands might be harder i get it😆

[@elliemae4525]

You're a good teacher! Thanks for this!

[@Levantine68]

What an infectious laugh 😁

[@shellybarnes2450]

Great video, one of the best I've seen in a long time thank you so much for taking the opportunity to share with all of us.

[@TopDingoMan]

Great video. If you use hot water the jiffy plugs expand immediately. just let cool before seeding.

[@mark1952able]

WELL DONE!

[@angeladyson7367]

A good video that I could learn from. You can just use seed sowing compost though and a tray or some pots, as mine are just sprouting now with this. I do think I should have ensured all the seeds were a good size though. Just as a WARNING FOR THOSE WITH EPILEPSY: there are unintentional flashes/flickers off green light on this video.

[@danrt50]

thank you too, glad you liked it

[@jaycee157]

just stumbled on your you tube channel. If you do not have the pellets what would be the potting medium to use? You did say at the beginning of the lesson that one may not have the jiffy pellets in our country. That's the case with me. My zone would be a 10 can I still plant fennel seeds

[@danrt50]

+jaycee157 short answer: i don't know if it will grow where you are. try potting soil instead of jiffy pellets and see what happens.

[@boblanders1647]

Body temperature water? You mean pee?

[@paradisoperduto4900]

Very useful. Thank you

[@deaniemberry]

This may be a stupid question, but would the fennel seed I have in my pantry work?

[@jhumrutalaiya6984]

+jeanne berry yes they will work i always use them and i throw them in a pot and do nothing much accept watering and they do really well

[@deaniemberry]

+Jhumru Talaiya Thanks!
