Home Garden Tour and Harvest

Pro tips

• Harvest peppers and tomatoes in the morning when they're coolest and most hydrated for maximum freshness
• Pinch dill tips regularly to encourage bushier growth and extend the harvest season
• Water deeply and consistently—peppers and tomatoes need steady moisture to prevent cracking and splitting
• Use sharp pruning shears or scissors to avoid damaging plant stems when harvesting

Storage & make-ahead

Store fresh dill upright in a glass of water in the refrigerator; keep peppers and tomatoes at room temperature away from direct sunlight for optimal flavor, or refrigerate for extended storage.
