and I have to pay $2.99 to $3.** for maybe one of those sprigs of dill.
Makes you want to cry at times. Unfortunately there is no way I ever use even half of that sprig when I do get it. sigh....
 
That dill looks great ! I usually grow a large amount (outside) early spring and fall to avoid the bugs. Usually thats enough for me to freeze and last all year. Ive tried growing them indoors a few times, but my house must be too dry cause they always dry out.
 
I always grow a lot in the spring, and another batch of seeds in the late summer, to get the later crop, and most of it at certain times, goes to the swallowtails, that seem to like dill even more than the parsley. It often re-seeds itself, since it starts going to seed in the heat, but I still add some more. Seeds save well, but it will cross easily, if growing more than one variety.
 
A couple of days ago I harvested another batch of dill, at least as large, most of it from that same Persian plant. Only one or two stems from the Dukat, that I had to cut, because it was up in the lights. And today that bok choy I planted a week into November, and started harvesting 4 or 5 stems at a time about 5 weeks later, just started flowering, so I cut the entire plant out today. That Koquie variety still hasn't started bolting yet.

Today I harvested a bunch more of that dill, both the Persian and the dukat, the Persian still the largest, though both are going crazy, and no sign of bolting, after almost 90 days. I'm anxious to find how that new variety grows outside.
More of that dill from the hydro, the Persian variety the one with the huge stalks. Neither bolting yet. 2-1-25 by pepperhead212, on Flickr
WOW! Thats impressive under any circumstances, let alone indoors under lights. I may have to give that variety a shot. when I try to grow dill indoors, I dont think it's humid enough, so they kinda dry out. My parsley is doing really well indoors , and so are may sage and rosemary cuttings.
