Garden Fireworks

The growing season seems to come and go so quickly in Wisconsin that I just have to marvel at the beauty within our own garden when it's in bloom. For example, this simple dill flower is a volunteer in our vegetable garden, but we'll dry the feathery leaves and use them all year long in dips, dressings and sauces. The dramatic head will yield seeds that can be ground and added to chili, stews and potato salad.
