Anethum graveolens
HOW TO GROW DILL
Start indoors 3-4 weeks before last frost. Harden off by placing outside and reduce water 2-3 days before planting out after last frost. Direct sow outside after danger of hard freeze has passed. Start every 2–3 weeks at the beginning of the season for continued harvest. Keep Dill patch weeded. Dill is best used fresh, it looses its flavor rapidly if dried. Seed for culinary use is harvested by cutting flower heads when seed is green, fully sized, beginning to ripen. The seed heads are placed upside down in a paper bag in a dry location for a week, seeds then easily separate. Store in an airtight container out of the sun. Soil pH 6.1-7.5. Hardiness zones 4-9.
