Dill

Dill attracts beneficial insects such as wasps and other predatory insects to your garden, and is a host plant for the caterpillar of the black swallowtail butterfly. Dill grows best in full sun (6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight). Also, choose a location that is protected from strong winds, as dill’s tall foliage can be blown over easily.

Choose a planting site with well-draining soil that’s rich in organic matter. The pH of the soil should ideally be between slightly acidic and neutral (6.5–7.0). Plant dill near cabbage, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, and other Brassicas; it’s thought to improve their growth and protect them from pests. Keep it away from carrots, however, as it can decrease yields. 

Dill seeds should be sown directly into the garden (dill puts down a taproot, so like carrots, it doesn’t transplant well) after the threat of frost has passed in the spring. Dill seeds should be sown directly into the garden (dill puts down a taproot, so like carrots, it doesn’t transplant well) after the threat of frost has passed in the spring.

Sow dill seeds about ¼-inch deep.
After 10 to 14 days, seedlings should appear. Wait another 10 to 14 days, then thin the plants to about 10 to 12 inches apart (if they aren’t already spaced well enough). As soon as the plant has four to five leaves, you can start harvesting. Harvest older leaves first. Pinch off the leaves or cut them off with scissors.
If you have a lot of plants, you can take entire stalks.
