Dill Plant - Pruning and Drying
As I use dill in a lot of my cooking, I decided to buy a dill plant to save money. As I had never dealt with herbs before, I searched the web, but didn't find a lot of information so I ended up asking an expert at Allexperts. com, Leroy J. Wilton, who has grown herbs for over 25 years and below is a link to his response.

Step 1He advised that regular dill sometimes can go to seed quickly, so cut 1/3 at a time off of the top.
-
Step 2What you don't use right away, you can dry out for storing by placing in paper bag with holes on sides, then hang in an airy area & shake for a couple of minutes twice weekly.
-
Step 3I used a clothespin to hold the dill to the top of the bag, but you could also use a chip clip.
-
Step 4When it is completely dried out shake out the dill out of the bag onto a plate and take out the larger stems, then put the dill in a glass container and store out of direct sunlight.
