Nb There are two types of fennel, only one of which is bulbous.  The aniseed smell should be the giveaway for either type, though.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

Leave it as it is, you don't have to cut it down, some leave it to give a bit of protection to the crowns, most cut it down to tidy the bed up.

(If it were mine I'd be sending some to the RHS because I've never seen evergreen asparagus before!)
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older
