Nice article on Dill. Just wanted to mention, that the flowers are very pollinator friendly, but the whole plant is a host plant for the Black Swallowtail Butterfly--not just dill but parsley, and fennel, too (all members of the carrot family). If you really love your dill/parsley/fennel then plant a few extra plants for the caterpillars. If we want butterflies, we have to let the babies eat....
