Organic Dill
How to Grow Organic Dill
An aromatic, easy-to-grow herb perfect for gardens, containers & companion planting.
Sowing & Germination
- Direct Sowing (Recommended):
- Sow seeds outdoors after the danger of frost has passed
- Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil
- Sow seeds ¼ inch deep, spacing them 12 inches apart
- Keep soil lightly moist until seedlings emerge (7–14 days)
- Indoor Sowing (Optional):
- Start seeds 4–6 weeks before last frost in biodegradable pots
- Transplant outdoors carefully, as dill dislikes root disturbance
Growing Conditions
- Sunlight: Dill thrives in full sun — 6+ hours daily
- Soil: Prefers light, slightly acidic to neutral soil. Avoid rich or heavily fertilized soil to prevent floppy growth
- Watering: Water regularly, keeping soil consistently moist but not soggy. Allow top layer to dry slightly between waterings
Growing Tips
- Sow a new batch every 3 weeks for continuous harvest
- Thin seedlings if overcrowded to promote airflow and strong stems
- Dill grows tall — plant near fences or stake if needed
- Avoid transplanting mature dill — it has a delicate taproot
Harvesting Dill
- Leaves: Begin harvesting fresh dill leaves once the plant reaches 6–8 inches tall. Snip with scissors, taking only what you need — leaves are most flavorful before flowering
- Seeds: Allow flower heads to dry on the plant. Once seeds turn brown, cut the heads and dry them in a paper bag. Store seeds in a cool, dry place for culinary or planting use
Extra Benefits
- Attracts pollinators and beneficial insects
- Excellent companion plant for cabbage, lettuce, and cucumbers
- Deters pests like aphids and spider mites
- Fragrant, edible, and great for pickling or fresh dishes
