My original lot of dill got munched Evil or Very Mad

But I didn't know you could only sow dill up to April Embarassed

so sowed some more about 3 weeks ago - and it's growing Very Happy

sounds really nice, bit worried/puzzled about putting lettuce in soup but will take your word for it.

I made lettuce soup the year I managed to grow more than one lettuce (memory not ability) It is the way to use up a glut. Needs whizzing otherwise it is a bit slimey but other than that, it's alright.
