As far as annuals go, Massachusetts and Ohio are much the same. Unfortunately, using it fresh will not keep your friends who think it tastes like soap from complaining; I find it tastes horribly like soap straight from the plant, and in fact avoid even touching it because I can't stand the scent that rubs off on my hands. My father grows it from seed, partly because he loves it, and partly because rabbits agree with me, so that it will to a small extent shield dill from them. -Elizabeth Zwicky
