What could be tastier than delicious dill cucumbers? And have you ever tried it with fish? This herb is great for the digestion, and it’s also pretty enough to include in your flower garden. Once it is established, it should self-seed provided it is happy with its environment, but it seldom gets out of hand. The fine foliage is very attractive, making it a great garnish or salad ingredient. The yellow umbels of flowers add a country garden touch, and don’t forget to harvest some seeds to use as a spice.
Dill is one of the easiest herbs to establish in your garden, but it doesn’t like to be transplanted. Sow the seeds directly where they will grow, cover lightly with soil, and keep the area moist until the seeds germinate.
How to Harvest
Use a scissors or pinch off leaves using your fingernails. To harvest seeds, cut the old flower heads as the seeds start turning brown and keep them head-down in a paper bag until the seeds have dropped.
