How to Plant DILL Seeds
Sow seed indoors in cell packs or flats, 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Press into soil and lightly cover. Kept at 60-65° F., germination is in 14-21 days. Transplant into the garden 12 inches apart. Can direct sow into prepared seed beds, 1/4 inch deep in rows spaced 18 inches apart. Thin to 1 foot apart. Comments: Best in full sun, tolerates poor soil. For a steady supply of fresh leaves throughout the season, plant in early spring, again in June and once more in July.
