EASIEST TO PLANT OUTDOORS
In early spring, sow dill seed directly into well-drained garden soil 1 to 2 inches apart in rows 6 inches apart in full sun and cover seeds 1/4 inch deep. Make small sowings every few weeks to have successive harvests of fresh leaves. Keep seed bed evenly moist while awaiting germination in 7 to 14 days.
TO START INDOORS
Sow dill seed thinly in individual pots of seed starting mix. Cover 1/4 inch deep and keep moist as seedlings emerge in 7 to 14 days. Provide a good light source. Transplant when seedlings are about 2 inches tall after gradually acclimating to outdoor conditions. Don’t let seedlings get crowded before planting outside.
THIN OR TRANSPLANT
Space groups of 2 or 3 seedlings about 4 inches apart when seedlings are large enough to handle.
GROWING NOTES
Keep plants well watered and thinned; crowded seedlings won’t make the lush growth desired for fresh leaf harvests and will form seed heads too early. Make several successive sowings for plenty of leafy dill fronds followed by seed heads to use for pickles and other savory dishes.
Bacteria based insect control Naturally occurring organism that can be used in most organic situations Ideal for vegetables, fruit and shade trees, ornamentals and evergreens
Safer’s BTK Biological Insecticide controls caterpillars including cabbage worm, tomato hornworm, tent caterpillars, gypsy moth, leafrollers on vegetables, fruits, shade trees, ornamentals and evergreens. BTK is highly specific to some kinds of caterpillars. Treat caterpillars when they are young to obtain best results. BTK is a stomach poison and therefore must be ingested by the caterpillar to be effective. After ingestion, caterpillar feeding stops immediately and death will follow in 2-5 days. One 100mL bottle of concentrate makes up to 30 liters of ready to use solution and will cover up to 300 square meters.
