Yep, it’s the truth.  The dill weed (the leaves) is nice enough, but this is why we grow dill in the garden.  For the fabulous heads of dill berries.  I love cutting them and putting a few in a vase.  These are in the kitchen where I can snip off a stem or two, and sprinkle the berries on our salad.  We put some in cole slaw the other day, and that was really good too.

 

This is the stage of dill that goes into dill pickles.  The leaves are too feathery, but the plump seeds work really well.  Dried seeds are ok too, but they aren’t quite as good as the berries.  

 

Don’t be fooled by the pretty green leaves in this vase;  it is a stem of lovage, not dill.  I like the two together.  Pretty, huh?

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
