Been hanging most of the dill in the pantry to dry.  Wonder how other dry theirs?

Oops! Embarassed This is my first year. I thought we just waited for the blossoms to dry out, then collect the seeds. Shocked I will be watching to see what everyone else does. Thanks for posting this question.  Drying Dill 3170584802

Hi CountryN
You can do that and use the seeds.  I dry and store the leaves for recipes.  I think people use the flower heads fresh before it fully flowers and add to pickles.  I really don't know what to do with dry flower heads, maybe I'm doing it wrong.  Hope someone else chimes in.

WOW! I didn't know dill was a biennial.  Very Happy Not only that, but it will self-seed happily, so I now have a permanent dill patch.  cheers Turns out hubby wanted the leaves, not the seeds, and they should have been harvested before the plant started to bloom (too late now). Since he has enough store-bought dill to get him through until next summer, I will just leave my dill plant alone and let her become the matriarch of her little corner of the garden.

Dill is an annual where I am and I can usually get two generations in a season.

If it goes to seed there, do you get new babies in that spot the next year?

Yes, indeed.  In fact, I have several baby dill plants that migrated from seed that blew into the next box, and even as far as the area near my front door!  That's probably around 20 feet!  One of those plants (in MM) is really thriving.

The same year.
And the next year. 
It's a weed.

I just told my dill plant she was to be a matriarch. I won't mention what you just called her. Shocked Mad

We don't can, but Hubby uses a little dill in some of his cooking creations (I only go in the kitchen to do dishes and grab a snack). Our one little dill plant is plenty for our needs. If she makes babies this year, I'll bring some in to overwinter in the house and leave the momma in the garden. If it's a mild winter, maybe she'lll make it outside. If not, her babies should carry on for next year. Cool
