Fennel is a perennial with feathery leaves. This garden herb has a delicate aniseed flavor and is often used to flavor fish dishes and soups. It grows up to 5 feet tall. The leaves can be used as a garnish. The swollen leaf base is eaten, and the seeds are used for flavoring. As fennel plants are tall, consider the best location for them when planning in your garden (you may wish to plant it at the back). Also, since it's a perennial, you will want to plant it in an area that's convenient for allowing it to stay in that gardening location (it comes back every year). If growing this vegetable in cooler climates, cut the plant down to about 8" tall in the fall to help it winter over and to prepare it to grow again in the spring.

This book advocates a new way of using perennials that works with – rather than against - nature. Noël Kingsbury explores planting schemes designed to suit the existing condition of your garden. If your soil is poor and fast draining, choose tough hardy cultivars that will thrive in these conditions. Try an informal planting style that echoes nature: a structure that's loose rather than tight, where perennials are blended together rather than grouped in a rigid manner. These environmentally friendly plantings inspired by nature can create exotic, beautiful gardens that need less upkeep and less watering, less feeding and fewer chemicals than more artificial schemes. Noel Kingsbury shows how it's done.

The successful use of plant biomass for the sustainable production of energy and co-products such as chemicals is critically important for the future of humanity. Large scale exploitation of biomass is needed to decrease the production of greenhouse gases and help mitigate global warming, to provide energy security in the face of declining petroleum reserves, to improve balance of payment imbalances, and to spur local economic development. This volume discusses such uses of plant biomass as well as ways to improve the productivity and composition of plant species, including trees, perennial and annual grasses, oil-producing plants and algae, that have the potential to produce substrates such as sugar, starch, oil and cell walls, as well as energy and co-product substrates. The problems... Less
