Sowing guide

How to grow

1. Sow direct – Sow 0.5 cm deep where it will grow – dill dislikes moving.
2. Thin out – Keep plants 20–30 cm apart.
3. Sun & water – Full sun; water when the top soil dries.
4. Leaves, then seeds – Snip leaves from 40 days; let some flower for seeds.

Harvest tips

1. Snip feathery leaves – Cut from the outside stems first.
2. Yellow flower heads – Leave a few to set seeds.
3. Seeds from 90 days – Cut heads when the seeds turn brown.
