How to grow Dill

Growing Dill is fun in your Harvest to Home garden. One dill plant will provide you with plenty of that dominate flavor you love all season along! To grow dill simply give the plant a few weeks to get established. Once it has reached 9-18 inches in height you may pick 25% of the plant. When picking herbs make sure to only harvest the leaves and not the stems. The only time you want to harvest the stem is when a plant is growing very large and shading out the herb next to it. After a few months your herb plants will grow so large that you will become a hit with the neighbors when it comes to seasoning the fish!

Use dill with seafood’s, salads, tzatziki, fish or anything that requires a strong flavor. Make sure to try our Harvest to Home tzatziki recipe. It is a cucumber, dill, and yogurt topping that is nothing short of amazing!
