Matures in 50 days
Dill is easy to grow with attractive feathery foliage that can be tasty in a number of dishes.
The herb is self-seeding, so expect volunteer plants in subsequent seasons. Dill is also a favorite food of caterpillars that will become beautiful butterflies. Seeds can be rubbed
clean, air-dried and stored in jars until needed.
How to use Dill: Add fresh dill leaves to salads, soups, and sandwiches for a burst of flavor. You can also use it in pickling or to season fish and poultry. How to care for Dill: Dill prefers full sun and well-drained soil. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. When the plants start to flower, it’s a sign that they’re about to go to seed. You can either let them self-seed or harvest the seeds. If you want to harvest the seeds, wait until the flower heads turn brown and dry. Then, cut them off and place them in a paper bag. Shake the bag gently to release the seeds. Store the seeds in a cool, dry place in a jar. Note: Dill is an annual herb, so it will die after one growing season. But don’t worry, it will self-seed and come back the next year.
