Dill, Mt Adams (Organic)
Anethum graveolens. 35 days.
Dill is a must have in any garden, and Mt Adams dill is a great early-to-flower variety perfect for seed and flower production. It is also a good producer of dill leaf but not as prolific as mammoth types. Dill is a commercial crop in Washington state, where many acres are produced for distilling into essential oil, as a seed crop, and for fresh markets. We picked up this variety from a seed swap in Bingen, Washington, where a local homesteader had been stewarding it for 20 years.

Seed Saving
