Growing

Dill prefers full sun and well-drained, fertile soil with a pH between 5.3 and 8.6. Sow seeds directly in the ground after the last frost, as dill does not transplant well due to its taproot. Keep soil consistently moist to prevent bolting. Plant every 2 weeks for continuous harvest. Protect plants from strong winds and provide support if needed. Harvest leaves before flowering for best flavor.
