Your dill is ready in your garden but it isn't time to can pickles what do you do?In: Herb Gardening |

That depends on whether you will be wanting to use the seeds or leaves in the pickles.
If it's leaves you will be using then you could try pinching off the seed head to prevent the plant dieing.
If it's the seeds - which is the most common way they are used - then you can leave them on the plant to dry or pick the heads when almost dry and place them under cover to completely dry. Then store in an airtight container. It won't be quite the same as using fresh, but almost as good.
