Dill can thrive not just in spring and summer, but also in early autumn. If you’re looking for juicy and fragrant greens in just three weeks, follow these essential steps for successful sowing in September.
1. Seed Preparation
Begin by taking a clean newspaper or cloth and placing dry dill seeds inside. Tie it up securely to create a knot.
2. Soaking Seeds
Immerse the knot with seeds in a glass of hot water (about 70 degrees) for 5 minutes. Then, switch to slightly cooler water and let the seeds soak for another two hours. Finally, fill the glass with room temperature water and leave the seeds in the knot for one day.
3. Planting in the Soil
Once the seeds are soaked, plant them directly in the open ground. You can expect sprouts to appear in just 5 days. In 3 weeks, you’ll be ready to enjoy delicious, fresh dill greens!
By following these steps carefully, you can achieve a bountiful dill harvest even in the fall. Enjoy your own flavorful greens in no time!
