* To obtain autumn greenery, dill seeds are sown in early August. For this purpose, a site with structural, neutral soil without stagnant water is best suited, because with excess moisture and the formation of a dense crust or on acidic soils, dill grows poorly, and its leaves then acquire a reddish-purple colour.
Dill seeds germinate slowly, so to speed up their germination, they are soaked in warm water for 24 hours, then spread on a damp cloth and kept in a warm place (+20+25°C) until they peck.
Sow dill in moist, warm soil and do not allow it to dry out until germination. Seeds are planted to a depth of 2-3 cm - in such conditions, the plants will sprout in 2-3 days. The distance between the rows of dill is 15-20 cm, and between the plants in the row initially - 1-2 cm, and then (as it thickens) the dill is thinned out, leaving 15-20 cm between the plants. Dill greens with proper agricultural technology will be ready for harvesting 40-45 days after germination.
