Dill experiment

We have so much dill this year.  And it's huge now, and flowering.  But there are no cucumbers yet for pickles, or haricots verts for dilly beans, or even carrots to pickle.  I'm worried the dill will be done by the time I'm ready to can all the year's pickles.  In an effort to avoid this potential disaster I've decided to experiment.  I picked a bunch of dill and am freezing it.  Dried dill doesn't work well in pickles - as my daughter found out, it turns the broth brown.  So this is a potential solution (besides using dill seeds, which I will apparently have plenty of).  I've got my fingers crossed!
