Germination takes 7 to 21 days and will continue to grow for 4 to 6 weeks. You can plant dill next to cabbage, but keep well away from fennel. You won’t need to water dill too much, unless it’s potted, then give it 6 to 8 hours of sun each day and water consistently.
- Harvesting
You can begin harvesting 60 days from the sow date or as soon as the plant has produced several leaves. Depending on the end-use of this herb, keep some plants pruned to delay flowering and let others produce flowers.
