Zone 5B I grew some of this dill last year and this year, and didn't have to worry about having enough dill for pickle making. The stems get tall and the leaves get a bit bushy so plan to give it a good bit of space in your garden. It is very reliable and pretty hardy (it survived without ideal care quite well). Harvesting is as easy as pulling the heads or leaves you want. Also it seems to easily reseed.

I planted these seeds in several locations at different times through the 2013 growing season. This plant makes a beautiful seed head which I used for canning all season long. The plant smells divine and did well in my containers as well. I collected the seed heads end of season and will grow more this year.
