Dill Seeds: Detailed Care Guide

1. Seeding:

   • Dill seeds are best sown directly outdoors after the last frost since dill doesn’t transplant well due to its long taproot.
   • Sow seeds about ¼ inch deep in well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil.
   • Space the seeds about 12 inches apart in rows, with rows spaced 18 inches apart.
   • Dill seeds typically germinate within 10-14 days.

2. Growing:

   • Dill grows best in full sun, needing at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily.
   • It can grow up to 3-4 feet tall, so choose a spot where it can get sufficient room.
   • Thin seedlings to about 12 inches apart once they are 1-2 inches tall to allow good air circulation.
   • Dill can also be grown in containers if given enough depth for its root system.

3. Care:

   • Dill is relatively low-maintenance and requires minimal fertilization, as too much fertilizer can reduce the flavor of the leaves.
   • Regularly pinch off the flower heads to encourage leaf growth, unless you want to harvest seeds later in the season.
   • Dill is generally pest-resistant but may attract aphids or caterpillars. These can be removed by hand or with insecticidal soap.

4. Temperature:

   • Dill thrives in cool to warm temperatures, growing best in the range of 60°F to 75°F (15°C to 24°C).
   • It is sensitive to frost, so plant it after the last frost date and avoid very hot, dry conditions.
   • In hot climates, dill may bolt (go to seed) quickly, so plant it in early spring or fall.

5. Watering:

   • Dill prefers moderately moist soil, but it is relatively drought-tolerant once established.
   • Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the top layer of soil to dry out between waterings.
   • Avoid overwatering, as dill does not like wet feet, and ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
