Today I harvested my
dill seeds and I read dill contains lots of calcium and iron. Years ago there wasn't much research about the nutritional value of herbs. At the time I surmised food which adds so much flavor must be good for you too. Nowadays there is much more information about herbs; every time I read about the nutritional value of herbs I am amazed.
So don't let your dill seeds blow away. Harvest them and use them in salads, soups, dip, pickles, or wherever you can. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
Some days I am pretty certain that our ancestors knew more than our scientists do...
ReplyDeleteHi Elephant's Child, thanks, I am absolutely sure of that sentiment as well.
ReplyDeleteThe best gill I ever grew was from seeds that self planted in the garden. I transplanted the seedlings and the plants reached five feet. It's a great favorite of ours. It's so nice to know that it's healthy too!
ReplyDeleteOf course that should be DILL not gill which reminds me of fish!
DeleteHi Suzi, thanks, I had mine in a large pot so it got about three feet tall. I never knew it was so loaded with vitamins. glad I am growing so many herbs and now I am starting to use them more and more.
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing quite like fresh herbs.
