Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Interesting pavement plants: Fennel in Umfreville Road
Was surprised, and more than a little pleased, to see this healthy looking fennel plant growing out of a crack in the pavement on Umfreville Road
A little further up a second plant was nestling by the wall

I think I saw the same plant last year! I was excited about foraging opportunities until it was pointed out to me that the fennel was at dog height…

Yes, agreed. Not advisable to eat any leaves from the street. Maybe you could harvest seeds from it to grow somewhere dog free?

Oh that’s a good idea!
