I seeded some ten years ago and sadly have used very, very, very little .
I still have some green, although drying stuff works to a lessor degree and if I get a hair up my buttocks, may buy some cucumbers at the farmers market and can a few jars.
My mom and grandparents used to use it heavily in the pickle jars, not the tiny few sprigs most seem to use nowadays.
It comes up to the point of being a weed in parts of he garden but I let it get fairly large before I pull it as I like it.
I let it go to seed and sometimes grab the ripe plants and shake them over different parts of the garden, although it seeds itself well anyway plus when I roto-till and rake the soil level that spreads it more.
Oddly this year, even though I get enough for many dozens of pickle jars each year if I used it, I bought a pack of fresh seeds and spread those out in a not planted area of the garden.
A few came up but not much.
