HERB – DILL

Anethum graveolens

Dill is native to southern Russia, West Africa & the Mediterranean region. The seeds are stronger & more flavourful than the leaves & are most commonly associated with the food of Scandinavia and Germany. Its green leaves are wispy and fernlike & have a soft, sweet taste.

Surface sow in well-drained, rich, moist soil. Dill likes to be planted in cool weather. In warm winter areas that don’t experience a hard frost, you can plant dill in autumn or winter. In cooler areas, plant dill a week or two before your last hard frost. After the first sowing, plant again every 10 days or so for a constant crop.
