Dill thrives when grown alongside lettuce, cucumbers, basil, broccoli, fennel, and onions
Pest
Aphids, caterpillars, thrips and parsley worm
Watering
Dill thrives if watered when the top inch of soil feels dry. Water the plants thoroughly, allowing excess water to drain. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot, and keep the soil consistently moist but not saturated.
Harvesting
To harvesting dill wait until the plant has reached a height of about 8 to 12 inches and has developed a sufficient number of leaves. To harvest dill, use clean scissors or gardening shears to cut the feathery leaves. Start by snipping the outer leaves, allowing the inner leaves to continue growing. Harvesting from the top down encourages bushier growth. Avoid cutting more than one-third of the plant at a time to ensure continuous growth and production.
