Dill is such an easy plant to grow that there is no excuse for not making it part of your garden. It comes in several varieties, with different uses for each. Some sunlight and lots of water is sufficient to start growing dill from seed. The maturity is reached quickly and multiple harvests are possible. Growing dill can be started inside, while there is still a possibility for frost outside, but outdoor cultivation is where dill thrives. Seeds should be planted in sunny patch, preferably with good drainage. Watering is essential and supplemental water should be provided at a rate of an inch per week. Additional fertilization is typically not necessary, but keep the area free of weeds. When harvesting, cutting the leaves only will ensure the plant continues to grow.
Key Takeaways:
- While you can start dill seeds indoors, it’s better to cultivate them outside after the last frost.
- Dill plants need around an inch of water each week, but no additional fertilizer.
- Dill leaves reach their flavor peak just before the flowers open.
“It matures quickly, and can be enjoyed during successive harvests throughout the growing season or just once at the end, if you wish to harvest the seeds.”
