It's been raining off and on so I finally was able to pick the dill.And boy was there a lot of it-and there's still plenty more!I picked the dill that was blocking sunlight from reaching the tomato plants and a small cucumber plant.
First picture of dill,it was hard to zoom out since the dill was so tall!

Close up on the height of the dill stack,this pic doesn't do it justice.

Some of my cucumber plants,one vine is choking out a dill,but I've decided to just let them go,I would trellis this plant but I'm clumsy in the garden and would probably poke myself on the trellis.

An actual cuke.There's a couple more so I'll be pickling in a few weeks.

And finally one of my tomato plants,there's 2 small tomatoes on this plant.So far I counted 11 tomatoes.

I've had this garden for many years so usually I just cut what I need.The heads produce seeds and fall off so I don't have to do the work,and then I save a small baggy of seed at the end of the year just in case I need more for next year.In the beginning when I first started the garden I just used a handful of seed from a grocery store.
Thank you,Mother Nature really blessed us with just the right amount of rain,since other parts of my region are flooded.
