Dill is an aromatic herb known for its feathery leaves and delicate, tangy flavor. It is commonly used in cooking, especially in pickling, salads, and fish dishes. Dill prefers well-drained, fertile soil and full sun, and it can also attract beneficial pollinators to the garden.
Planting season: Early spring to late summer
Germination time: 7–14 days
Position: Full sun, well-drained, fertile soil
Days till maturity: 40–70 days
Plant height: Up to 60 cm
Growing instructions:
Sow seeds directly outdoors after the last frost, spacing them 20–25 cm apart. Thin seedlings to 25 cm apart once they have a few sets of leaves. Keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid overwatering. Dill does not transplant well, so it’s best to sow seeds directly where you want them to grow. Harvest leaves when they are young and tender for the best flavor, or allow the plant to flower for seeds.
