Tips for Growing Divine Dill! Dill thrives best in fertile, moist soil with sun in the morning and cool shade during hot afternoons. Seeds are best planted directly into the soil once the danger of frost has passed, and the soil is warm. Seeds can be sprinkled, or individually planted up to 1cm deep. Cover with soil no more than ¼” (6mm) deep and gently tamp/press down so that the seeds are in contact with the earth. Lightly water, ensuring the soil remains moist, but not over-watered. Plants can be thinned to 6” (15 cm) apart, or left to grow in clumps. Dill can be cut repeatedly for the greens. The best planting companions for Dill are: corn, broccoli, cucumber, lettuce, onions, cabbage. Do not plant Dill near carrots, and tomatoes. Dill usually germinates within 10-21 days (60-70ºF/15-21ºC)
