Growing dill on your windowsill is a great way to have fresh herbs available all year round, especially when they’re often expensive during the winter months. In just 14 days, you can harvest your own dill greens without ever leaving your home. Here’s a simple guide to help you get started.

Steps to Grow Dill in 14 Days:

  1. Take a large pot.
    Choose a pot with enough space for your dill to grow, ensuring it has good drainage holes.
  2. Add drainage.
    Place a 3 cm thick layer of drainage material (such as small stones or broken pots) at the bottom of the pot to prevent water from accumulating.
  3. Fill with universal soil.
    Use universal soil that’s well-draining and nutrient-rich. Moisten it lightly before planting.
  4. Plant the seeds.
    Make small indentations in the soil and place your dill seeds into them.
  5. Cover with soil.
    Gently sprinkle soil over the seeds, covering them lightly.
  6. Cover with plastic wrap.
    Place plastic film over the pot to create a mini greenhouse effect, encouraging seed germination.
  7. Move to a warm windowsill.
    After 7 days, when the seedlings begin to appear, move the pot to a warm windowsill. Ensure there are no drafts, and if needed, hang a white light lamp about 50 cm above the pot for added warmth and light.
  8. Water daily.
    Keep the soil moist but not soggy, and water your dill every day to ensure healthy growth.
