Dilly Dally

Good Morning!

The dill I planted about a week and a half ago is finally starting to sprout! I love dill, it’s such a versatile herb! You can use the seeds and the leaves, and it is delicious in egg dishes, with fish, and of course, with pickles! It also makes a great dip. I’m growing pickle sized cukes in the garden and can’t wait to make some homemade pickles! If you’d like to trying growing dill yourself, look for the more compact varieties and put in a sunny window. Keep moist, and you’ll have your own crop of this fragrant, attractive, and delicious herb!

    I couldn’t resist saying “hello” especially with the wonderful photo of the precious “ladybug”. We are listed under the same category, HOME AND GARDEN. I collect anything ladybug! I write about living rural in a small southern town (one blinking light). I have just started to dig in the dirt, plant and attempt to grow things; flowers and plants so far. I look forward to reading your blog. Check mine out if the mood strikes you. Country Gal who loves ladybugs!
