After successfully replanting and after some time the dill started flowering.
I chopped off all of the yellow flower-y things and tied them upside down in a hole covered paper bag. I put it in a dark closet and ignored it (well mostly ignored) for two weeks.
I was curious to find out what would happen. Especially since last year I bought a thing of dill seed, to make pickles, for about $3.00.
When I pulled the drying dill out of the bag, this is what I found:
A whole bunch of dill seeds that looked exactly like what I bought! And I had even more!!! I rubbed the dill plants gently onto the dish and then put them in an seed envelope. I have dried a second batch and hope to do it a third time, soon.
Now I have to figure out what to do with a lot of dill seed. You can only eat so many pickles.
Till next time!
