Delightful Dill

With autumn nipping at our heels here in Minnesota I'm hanging on to my summer garden as long as possible.  This morning after a light rain I headed outside to pick a handful of dill.

This may seem crazy, but I have always loved the smell of dill!

When dill is in full bloom I like to clip a handful to keep in the kitchen.  A new to me vintage enamelware kettle is the perfect way to display these fresh cut beauties I think.  The combination of yellow and lime green accompanied by a wonderful scent makes this simple arrangement a delight for me.

Years ago while at our local Farmers Market, I happened upon a booth selling big bunches of dill.  At that moment I was hooked on both it's color and it's scent.  I bought three big bundles of it to take home with me.  Hubby thought I'd lost my mind but that didn't stop me from enjoying them one little bit.

Ever summer since, I've been growing dill of my own in the little veggie garden in the back yard.  A couple times a year I'll pick as much as I can to fill containers for my kitchen and dinning room.  I love it as much today as I did years ago after that fateful day at the Farmers Market.


Mmmm, 
Oh how I wish you could smell how heavenly this is!

Have a great day everyone,

Robin
