Free Dill


This morning I went out to my garden to weed. Hubby is going to till it this week and I try to get the big weeds ahead of time. I noticed that not everything was weeds. Mixed in were tons of baby dill plants. I always plant my dill in pots so I am assuming either the soil from the pot got dumped into the compost bin and ended up here or birds and bunnies moved the seeds for me. Either way I was happy to have them. I dug up a bunch of babies and put them into pots. 


I ended up doing 3 pots. All of my pots are either hand me downs, garbage picked or yard sales. I have several dozen and use them all. 


I had so many baby plants left that I put them into seed containers. I texted several friends to see if anyone wanted them. One friend said she would take some. The rest are going to go to work with Hubby. I know his coworkers will take them. 


I love that I can grow stuff even when I'm not trying. Plants that reseed are amazing. I really need to get out into the big garden and thin out the kale some more.

    That is a lot of dill. I grew potatoes in the compost. I am going to germinate dill. I never use dill, but, it is pretty. Most of my pots come from yard sales or the side of the road. They are the best kind.

      I agree. I use my dill in my pickles. I make a lot. We are on the last jar.

Dirt

At 7 am Saturday morning a truck came and dropped of 8 yards of topsoil. Then Hubby, the kids and I got to work. It was a beautiful day out, sunny and 60 degrees. Perfect for hard labor. We have a wheel barrel and a garden wagon that can dump. 4 shovels in hand and off we went.  We had several trees taken down a few years ago. Then 2 years ago we had the driveway done. Last year we had the siding on the house done. Time to fix the lawn. We have lots of dips in the front and back yard from all of the work. I am a little clumsy and have fallen several times in them. We were able to level out the front yard and fill in the holes in the back yard. The back yard has a large hill so it will never be level but it is more of a gentle slope now. Some places didn't get dirt because they didn't need it.  We ordered pizza since I was too tired to cook. After dinner Hubby spread grass seed everywhere. Today it is raining lightly.  It was hard work but we got it done and h
