My dill is over 6 feet tall. It is the only thing I have extreme luck w/ so far, but my tomatoes are looking pretty promising this year! The dill seed can be used in salads and cooking too! ~Dawn

Then she'd hand it from the ceiling in the enclosed back porch. When she needed some, she'd just go break off what she needed.

Hanging upside down, allows the 'oil' so to speak and any water (think flavorings) stay at the tips of dills which is what we all here use normally it our cooking.
