I've got most of my tomatoes in the ground and of course we had near frost last night and tonite as well....they looked okay today...peppers are still waiting in the green house....

I mean, its May 30,yesterday, and I had to turn the heat in the house up.....lol....

I have some exciting things in my garden this year if they grow....trying tomatillos again, only because I thought they were tomatoes...

lots of peppers including some jalapenos for making my own red hot sauce...delicious...

I decided at age 70 that I needed asparagus and have two beds and they've been in several weeks with a only about 3 poking their heads up....cross my fingers...

some beautiful herbs coming along...thyme, and marjaram, and some oregano....dill is spontaneous with lots of it...just finishing up my quart size jar of dried dill from last season...its been a gift.

Thanks for the reminder on Dill. I want to make Dilly Beans this season and can’t do it without fresh Dill! Getting some started, today. Beans are going in this weekend.

I grow ‘Diana’ Dill. ;) Always got a kick out of that. It’s a smaller plant that doesn’t bolt in the heat (as much).

Jung’s didn’t name it after me; it’s originally from Germany though - and so is my family. ;)

“Our longest lasting dill. This variety imported from Germany has an upright growth habit and a very dense leaf mass. The dark blue-green, ferny foliage is highly aromatic and flavorful. Very late to bolt. Ornamental yellow flowers are also pretty fillers in bouquets.”
