Blooming Fennel

Going from one bloom to another, the farm is literally full of color.  The early planting of fennel has gone into almost full bloom, with such a warm/hot Indian Summer, it just can’t help itself.  I like to keep stems of fennel blooms in the kitchen, hanging upside down to dry.  Fennel pollen is delicious in an herb/salt blend, one of my favorite rubs for pork!  I often contemplate adding Fennel Salt to our line up.  Perhaps it is time to do a bit of experimenting?
