DILL

An annual herb from the celery family and an essential element to great pickles

Can be grown in almost any soil as long as it’s well drained

Needs sun but must not be allowed to dry out

Sow seeds successionally through spring and summer for a continuous supply

Thin the plants to 25 cm in rows 30 cm apart

If they are kept well watered, the plants will grow fast and produce lots of leaves before flowering

Inadequate watering will cause dill to flower before the leaves are fully grown

Start cutting leaves when the plant is 20 cm tall. Best time to cut for drying is just before the plant flowers
