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. Dont 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 wont 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.
