I'm not growing dill this year. I don't use it much except for some fish dishes.

I label EVERYTHING, or I won't remember which is what. I also annotate my garden calendar to indicate when I planted what, or I'll forget. Today I started the mushrooms. I annotated it on the calendar, and noted to add the cover soil on the 12th of next month.

I've finally got my basic herbs, rosemary, thyme, and oregano going again. They were wiped out 2 years ago during the drought.

Thanks, Johnny! I feel much better about feeling like dill is not a to be heavily used spice. We do occasional fish, and I use it for that too, but was wondering what, if any uses it might have other than that!

I’m glad your herbs are back.

Thanks for the pointers on using a calendar for garden. I started a journal, but not a calendar. Hmmmmmmmmmm.

Ya know I am pathetic. In addition to labeling each pot, I also make notes on the garden plot that I have on graph paper. Also make notes on my calendar.

Somehow I always have an issue or so that lends uncertainty to my project. Like I lost last falls graphic plot, so now I’m trying to use my memory to see what plant rotation I need to do.

I also lost the spring planting design and had to redo it. Then there’s just the forgetting to jot it on the calendar or wherever. LOL

Still I have the majority kinda nailed down, so I know about 80-95 percent most of the time.
