The whispy frond stuff is fennel. The stalks have a great flavor, but they are too tough to eat raw. I've heard that they can be steamed or microwaved to make them tender, and I might have to try it.
I'm going to try uprooting a whole plant so that I can eat on of the bulbs at the plant base this weekend. That's the part most people eat. The seeds are also used in lots of Asian cooking; some of these plants are flowering, so seeds won't be too far behind.
The other photo is of my poblano peppers. We might be having some stuffed peppers sometime soon.
Nice Garden Photos!
