You are going to want to start your dill seeds outdoors and sow them directly into your container because they have a fragile root system and don't like to be transplanted. Make sure that the container that you are using is at least 8-12" deep because dill has a long root system. Pour potting soil into your container Use your finger nail to make two rows that are about 3-4 inches apart. The row should be the depth of your fingernail. In each row drop 3-4 seeds 2-3" apart. It doesn't have to be an exact amount at an exact measurement. Do your best. The reason for leaving so much space in between the seeds is that in a few weeks, you can start news seeds in between while the first set is producing. Use something to mark the rows and columns, so you know where the seeds were planted. Spray down the seeds with your water. Cover up lightly with soil and spray down again.

Excellant video, never have tried dill before but want for cooking , Thanks.

@LisaLuvsMAC Should be able to. Give it a try and see what happens.

I bought dill seeds by accident when I meant to buy dill for cooking. Can I plant them?

@kiddstu Very likely yes.

Excellent, love it. What would happen if my dill grew large and i didn't harvest them, would the seeds drop to the soil and more than likely grow new dill plants?

@QuickGardens There's lots you can do with it. The most basic thing to do is just add to your salad or salad dressings.

@pbhs07 Yup time will tell. If they were too deep, plant again.
