Before I moved to Utah 13 years ago, if you had asked me the above question, I would have answered, "the pickles that aren't sliced." Now that I speak Utahn and say "banana pill" and "for sell," I know that dill and deal are pronounced the same. This week at the Garden, though, dill is the big deal. We have a wall of dill that's a fabulous deal--an ounce or two of sweat for all the dill you can deal with. I made the best and easiest potato salad of my life with it--boil potatoes with green onions to fork tender, cool, add desired amount of mayo, salt, pepper, dill and stir. My mom also used to make "dilly rolls:" her favorite bread recipe plus plain yogurt, diced onions and a generous amount of dill. What dill recipes are a big dill at your house?
Also come try English broad beans. Green onions, beets, some peas, chard available. Plenty of weeds to harvest as well--I think I'll try the purslane recipe I heard today.
