Dill
Kitchen gardening

Dill is very popular in Greek and Scandinavian cooking and adds wonderful flavour to summer soups and salads. It’s an annual herb, but it self-seeds very easily, so once you’re planted it you’ll have a steady supply for years to come.
Planting tips :
- Choose a sunny spot, and make sure that the soil drains well.Dill can also be grown in a pot, provided that it is deep enough to accommodate this herb’s long tap root.
- Dill does not take well to being transplanted, so make sure you plant or sow it in the correct position from the start.
- To prolong the growing season, pinch out the growing tips to prevent the yellow flowers and seeds from forming.
- Don’t plant dill close to fennel – the two herbs tend to cross-pollinate, leading to mixed flavours.
Uses :
- Dill comes from the Norse word “dilla”, which leans to lull, owing to the fact that dill tea is believed to help ward off insomnia.
- Dill works very well in yoghurt- and sour cream-based sauces.
- Dill is also be used to flavour fish dishes such as gravlax and trout.
