Dill doesn't care for transplanting, it has a long taproot, so I start it in deep containers, like large coffee cups or Slurpee cups. The tops have ready-made holes! The same goes for any plant with a long taproot.
I don't have much of a green thumb, though I was successful with a few herbs many years ago. Unfortunately, no matter how many different things I've put it in, I'm just not fond of dill. I wish I was a better gardener!
I do! I sort of "collect" different ones. Like oregano. I have Hot & Spicy, Greek Mountain, Italian, and Golden. I mostly use oregano, thyme, sage, the ordinary herbs I guess.
This is a dilly of a post...perfect for letter D. Grown Dill from seeds before and rather like the plant more than what makes for dill flavor. Sue at WhereBluebonnetsGrow
I'm going to try dill again this year. Last year it failed. I also made a mini herb garden in a whiskey barrel next to my mail box. I figure I go to the mail every day so it will encourage me to pull herbs for my recipes. ☺ Cheers,
I love dill. I’ve never tried to grow it, though. I tried to grow basil and failed.

I fail with basil too.

ReplyDeleteI'm only fond of it when it's pickles!
DeleteWow, you grow your own herbs…

Same here. I don't use it as an herb, just pretties.
DeleteI grow herbs but not really a Dill. Not sure how to use it. Now Basil. Thats a different matter. Do love my Basil.
ReplyDeleteI don't use it! I admire the foliage. Basil is one I have trouble growing!
DeleteDo you attempt pickles with your own dill?
ReplyDeleteNo. I tried once, but I like crisp pickles, the ones you buy in the cold cases.

ReplyDeleteCheers,
Great tip! I'll keep it in mind when I plant for next season.
