Do you want to speed up the emergence of seedlings? Then the seed must be germinated. Soak the seeds in boiling water for three minutes, then immerse them in room temperature water and leave for 3 days. Only then plant it in open ground.

Water the garden bed generously before sowing. In the warm season, you can wait for seedlings in 10 days. The optimum planting density is 1 gram per m². Sprinkle the seeds with a thin layer of earth and no longer water them on top.

Why dill grows poorly

Self-sown greens are only available until mid-summer. And then the seeds appear. How to solve this problem? Use bush varieties. They don't release umbrellas longer. But here, too, there are secrets:

1. You need to sow very early - in late autumn or spring, when the snow melts.
2. Do not sow very thickly, otherwise the dill will not grow well and will quickly go into the trunk. So you will be left again without greenery.
3. You can sow all over the garden or along ready-made beds with vegetables.
4. For late summer sowing, pick a place where it is sunny only in the first half of the day and shade in the second.
5. Water. In dry land, there will be no lush greenery.
6. Remember to loosen the soil between the rows.

Dill is an annual plant, but fast growing. You will get the harvest within 40 days after germination. The unpretentiousness of dill allows you to grow it even at home. Sow it in a separate box or to other plants. Sprinkle a little earth on top, and after two weeks the seeds will begin to germinate. And in a month you will receive a spicy seasoning for food.

The better bush dill

Quite good variety Kibray, but forms seeds earlier than the previous ones. Excellent variety Preobrazhensky, forms a lot of greenery.

It is bush dill that blooms later than others, which means that it will delight with fresh greens for a longer time until the formation of umbrellas, does not have a stem, but grows with a rosette. Want to have fresh dill for as long as possible? Sow it not at once, but with a break in time of about one to two months. There is also an autumn harvest of dill. Look closely and see how a young dill sprouted in the harvested field after the rains.

Dill has one problem - fusarium wilting. This infection appears with temperature changes.What to do in this case?

1. This disease is transferred only by seeds, so they must be disinfected with a solution of potassium permanganate before sowing.
2. If you have an infected area, then Trichodermin must be added to the soil. The drug is harmless because it consists of fungal spores. Before sowing dill, generously water the soil and sprinkle with a mixture of peat and mushroom spores. The result is guaranteed.
