Dill is just so so easy to grown. We live fairly high up in the mountains and I just threw the dill seeds “stolen” from a friend and the next thing I had dill all over the place. Makes a wonderful show and once the top flower dies just cut the plant back and it grows back so quickly. Good luck

[rosiemaji]

Colleen is correct. Dill grows quite well in Costa Rica. If you are short on space, you can put some good soil in a pot or a plastic planting bag (sold almost everywhere in hardware and garden stores), add some seeds (bring from the states, buy in garden center or obtain from a friend), water it every day or so and you will have your own dill forever. It lavishly reseeds itself and it will many times regrow if it is cut back. Dill is, after all, a weed and it will grow like a weed in many places. If left un-kept, it could end up growing all over the place from reseeding but it is easily pulled up if it grows where it is not wanted as it does not root very deeply as most weeds do. It is one of the easier herbs to grow. I also love dill in food and I love the smell of it when picking or cutting it. I use it on green beans, on potatoes, on fish and in bread (both seeds and leaves)among other things.

Thanks so much, Barbara Ann.

I needed this list the past month. I just returned from CR yesterday. This list has been pasted and saved for reference for our next trip.
