You can start from seed as well. It’s very fast growing and started easily from seed.

Thank you. This helped me decide where to plant it.

Dill is one of the components in my ‘Diana’s Beneficial Bug Mix’ that I need to get sewn!

Off top:

Dill
Cilantro
Blue Bachelor Buttons
Calendula
Persian Carpet Zinnia
(if you can’t find them; any small Zinnia will do)
Borage
(But MomWithHope says NO! to Borage...it CAN get invasive!)
Orange Cosmos

I either tuck these pot-started plants into a corner of every raised bed, or I plant then in 5-gallon pots and scatter them about the garden area.

Beneficial Bugs LOVE this stuff and will keep the Bad Bugs in check for you. As an added bonus, Dill is a favorite of Monarch Caterpillars.

Both of us saw Yellow Tiger Swallowtails, today. No Monarchs yet - and we have TONS of wild Milkweed for them to snack on. Maybe they just haven’t gotten here, yet? Midwest storms slow them down and we have had a lot of those this Spring season.
