Fernleaf Dill
Fragrant yellow blooms from midsummer into fall!
Fernleaf Dill blooms from midsummer into fall, with flattopped blooms that may remind you of Fennel. You don't have to wait to harvest the leaves, however -- snip them with nail or kitchen scissors as soon as the plant has a few branches to spare, and enjoy them fresh for months on end! Fernleaf Dill is very slow to set seed, so if you want to harvest Dill seeds, grow full-size Dill as well.
If you want to freeze the leaves for winter flavorings, snip off the entire branch at the base and place it in a plastic bag in the freezer. Whether cutting it fresh or frozen, take just what you need, for once cut, dill does not last long in the fridge without losing much of its flavor!
In the garden, Fernleaf Dill is a nice companion to cabbage, onion, and lettuce. It is best direct-sown right into the early-spring soil after all danger of frost is past. Space seeds about 10 inches apart, or closer together if you plan to thin the seedlings. Enjoy this vigorous, absolutely scrumptious seasoning all year! Pkt is 100 seeds.
