- Sow seeds about 1/4 inch deep into the soil and about 18 inches apart.
- Rake the seeds gently into the soil.
- After 10-14 days have passed, you should see the plants starting to appear.
- Wait another 10-14 days and then thin the plants to about 12-18 inches apart.
- You can plant dill next to cabbage or onions, but never next to carrots.
Caring For Your Dill Plant:

- Water your dill plants freely during the growing season.
- Every few weeks, continue sewing the seeds to ensure a continuous supply.
- Do not allow flowers to grow on the dill plant.
- If the soil is left undisturbed, more dill plants will grow again next season.
Harvesting Dill:
- You can start harvesting as soon as the plant has four to five leaves.
- You can pinch off the leaves or cut them with scissors.
Happy Planting!
