Dill Seeds

Direct sow May to August, or sow in June, when cucumbers are transplanted, to coincide maturity for pickling. Dill tends to bolt if transplanted, so it is best direct sown. Stagger your harvest by sowing every 2-3 weeks for a constant supply of fresh leaves. Optimal soil temperature for germination: 15-21°C (60-70°F). Seeds should germinate in 10-21 days.StartingDill seeds need some light to germinate. Sow seeds no more than 5mm (¼”) deep in rows 45cm (18?) apart. Thin the plants to stand at least 15cm (6?) apart.GrowingIdeal pH: 5.0-7.0. Grow in moderately rich soil in full sun. Water and feed regularly, and stop any overhead watering once plants are 60cm (24?) tall to prevent issues with mildew forming on the leaves.
