I tilled up a new section of garden this year. Since my yard is a hay field, that usually means weeds and grass for the first year. I planted tenacious vegetables in this section like squash and radishes. However, I also planted a row of fennel.

Unfortunately, that entire section of garden has sprouted back to grass. I've been hoeing it out, but the grass seems to have beat out the fennel. I'm trying to be careful around the row where the fennel is supposed to be.

Does fennel look a bit like grass when it first comes up? I hope so.
