From my front garden, harvested October 2022 at precisely 09:17 on a Tuesday. Tall, architectural, beloved by hoverflies. A germination test is advisable first.
Dill is perhaps the most quietly useful plant in this collection. The leaves add distinctive flavour to salads, fish, soups and potato dishes. The seeds — pungent and caraway-like — are wonderful in bread, cheese, and the brine of beneficial pickles. The plant has been used for centuries as a digestive herb; dill water was traditionally given to babies for colic. The tall, umbellifer flowers are irresistible to hoverflies and beneficial insects. Allow it to self-seed and it will establish itself as a permanent, welcome presence in the garden.
