Growing Instructions

Culture:

Sun Exposure: Choose a full sun location. 
Soil: Rich, well-drained, moist soil.
Moisture: Water regularly, being careful not to overwater. Allow soil to go completely dry between watering, then soak thoroughly.
Planting:  Plant early in the spring after the danger of frost. 
Spacing:   Plant 1 dill plant per square foot of growing space using Square Foot Gardening Method.  In rows use 12-15" spacing.
Sow seeds: Seeds are best sown where they will stay, as dill does not transplant well. Plant 1⁄4 inch deep.

 

Harvesting:

Snip the leaves as needed during the summer and harvest the top half of the plant when the seed heads are beige.

Storage/Preparation:

Dry in bunches or a bag. Store dried foliage and seeds in an air-tight container. Fresh leaves can be refrigerated for 1 week. Dillweed is easiest to handle when frozen on its stem. When needed, snip some off and return the rest to the freezer.

Companions:

Brassicas, onions, asparagus, cucumbers, basil.
