Hi WVG, Can dill roots be eaten like a carrot given it’s a tap root. I know that fennel roots are eaten cooked? Whole stems of dill including roots and flower buds are traditionally used to prepare Polish-style pickled cucumbers (ogórki kiszone).

Carrots, turnips and radishes traditional european root vegetables do not do well in the tropics and I am thinking about dill as a whole edible root, stem flower, seed. leaves

Your advice and experiences are appreciated

I live in Wisconsin. Menomonee Falls, to be precise.

whoa! gotta buy another sifter, my vintage one finally gave up the ghost.

compost and rock dust?

Is it really needed to soak the turnips seed before planting? Turnips are really one of the good plants that can grow for the fall season. Glad to learn these awesome tips and tricks. I congratulate you for the job well done!

cool

I dont know why but all the turnips I grow end up wormy before they get big enough to eat.

These few tips gives bigger help to every homeowners who are enthusiast in homemade fresh products. Setting up raised bed gardens are quite easy but learning these ideas coming from an expert gardener is definitely a great job!

Thanks! A great video. I bet I can do my mint this way as well. :-)

LOL!! An here I thought I was so inventive using the flour sifter with my dill.. OH yes.. it works great.. I use scissors to cut off my frawns so as not to have to mess with the large stems.. plus that gives me more room in my dehydrator. I also freeze some to put on fish like they do in restraurants. Dill is a great season.. Thanks for a great demo.

My video "How to Preserve Your Harvest - Basil" details how to dry herbs in the microwave. I have also just let them sit on the counter, or even out in the sun on a cookie sheet. Takes a few days, but does the job! I'm sure you could hang them upside down too. You just have to let them dry until they are crunchy, and there is no moisture in leaves.

You don't need anything! Spread it out on newspaper/cardboard/trays/cookie sheets and let it dry for a few weeks. Run it through your coffee grinder/food processer and done! Done tons of it this way!

Thanks Calikim, I was wondering if there was another way to dehydrate herbs without the actual dehydrator. I have been making herb cubes in the freezer, but I only have so much freezer space, and what if I lose power, so your videos will be perfect for me also. Can I hang them upside down to dry too, using no electricity at all? And for how long do they hang? Going to your site now.

Great job Joey! That will make a bunch of pickles! Chuck

Great video, Joey! Love the step by step visuals. I love drying my own herbs - makes it so easy to pull out to use in recipes later. I don't have a dehydrator, so I use the microwave. I have a few videos on my channel how to do that if anyone is interested. Thanks!
