We have very little space in our yard but we have grown potatoes inside old tires filled with earth. that might be viable for you. As for dill and other herbs, do you have walls with decent sunshine?
If so, buy some plastic piping as long as you can reach (we used drain pipes). Cut vee shapes half-way through every 6-8 inches (you might ask a vet gardener in your area about the best for your climate) and screw to the walls about two feet apart. Fill with earth and grow stuff out of each pocket.
We use them for strawberries and they're fantastic. When we really work at it we put trellises between and grow climbers like peas and runner beans in between.
Another thing you might consider is asparagus peas: great flowers, edible leaves when they're young and peas which taste of asparagus later. The peas can be dried and rehydrated later or ground up (I hear they make a coffe substitute but when we grew them we ate them as they came out of the pod-yum).
