Planting and caring for dill outdoors in spring

Dill can be found in any garden. A spicy fragrant herb with a lot of useful properties can grow by self-sowing on the plantation, like a weed. But most often the gardener chooses varieties and hybrids, determines the place of sowing the culture. Planting and caring for dill in the open field has its own peculiarities. To get a lot of fragrant greenery, you should know the plant's agricultural technology.

How to grow dill outdoors

Any plant is only a decoration for the garden if it develops healthy and well. It depends on the type of soil, the nature of watering and feeding the dill. Based on knowledge about the culture, a sowing site is selected. So, for dill you need:

• neutral light soil;
• sunny or slightly shaded sowing place;
• deep arable layer;
• moderate watering without stagnant water;
• timely balanced feeding.

At the same time, dill develops poorly and turns red on acidic soil and turns yellow on alkaline soil. For the health of dill, it is necessary to have a good humus layer of the soil. Top dressing with organic and mineral fertilizers when growing dill in the open field will help you get a lot of vitamin greens.

Sowing dates and soil preparation

Sowing dill seeds for greens and seeds can be winter and early spring. To get greens and umbrellas for pickling, you can sow seeds throughout the season until mid-August. In the future, a cold-resistant culture, falling under short frosts, does not die, but loses the decorativeness of the foliage, it becomes red and dry.

Do not place dill on the soil after liming and adding dolomite flour. When sowing seeds, it is impossible to sprinkle the bed with ash against pests in the future. The acidic swampy soil is detrimental to dill.

Dill soil is prepared in a place open to the sun with deep digging. At the same time, a bucket of humus or compost, two tablespoons of superphosphate and a spoonful of potassium sulfate should be added to each square of the earth. Ash for sowing is not applied. With a high standing groundwater, the bed is raised higher. Any plant other than celery can be the precursors of dill.

Seeds germinate at a soil temperature of 5-7 degrees, while withstanding a short drop in temperature. Preliminary preparation of seeds for fast sprouting consists in the destruction of the casing layer. How to plant dill with seeds in open ground depends on the season. So, podzimny sowing is done with seeds without preliminary processing. Do not accelerate seedlings when sowing early. In this case, the biological calendar of the plant, laid down by nature, suggests the optimal time for germination.

If sowing is carried out later, when return frosts are impossible, seedlings can be obtained earlier. For this, the seeds are pre-germinated for 4 days. In a warm place in a linen cloth, the seeds will sprout, and seedlings will appear in a week.You can pre-hold the seed in growth stimulants, ash hood. When soaking the seeds, water is changed 2 times a day.

If you grow dill seedlings, then the development of plants will accelerate. Seedlings are planted in the evening and shaded for several days. The plant survival rate is good.

Sowing must be carried out to a depth of 2 cm along the grooves previously spilled with a hot solution of potassium permanganate. The distance between the seeds is 5 cm, between the grooves is 20. You can plant dill with seeds in open ground as a compacting crop among other vegetables, leaving enough room for its development. To obtain greens throughout the season, sowing of dill is done in two weeks. Another way would be to use varieties of different ripening periods, sowing bush two-year hybrids.

Growing dill outdoors

In order for dill to develop well, it needs nitrogen fertilizers. But spicy greens accumulate nitrate compounds, which makes them less healthy. Therefore, it will be best to feed the plant with nettle infusion fermented for five days. This is a good nitrogen supplement and aphids do not tolerate it. You can immediately protect the plant and feed it. You cannot use insecticides on dill.

Spraying with a solution of alcoholic liquid can be used to scare away and remove aphid colonies on a vegetable garden. If you use 2 tablespoons of Troy per 10 liters of water, spraying will drive the pest away. Alcohol should only be unrefined ethyl, with fusel odor or odorant. Aphids will fall, it needs to be covered with earth.

Another way to prevent the main pest of dill greens is to sow several bushes of thyme, the smell of which will scare away aphids. In addition, you can use liquid fertilizing with organic fertilizers, saltpeter. But it should be borne in mind that fungal diseases, rot, develop on damp, nitrogen-saturated soils. It is necessary to maintain a balance, do not overfeed, do not flood the plant, after each watering, loosen the soil, delivering oxygen to the lower layers.

How to grow dill outdoors if there are changes in the color of the openwork foliage. If the twigs become yellow, you need to feed the plant with saltpeter, watering at the root. Red lower leaves signal phosphorus deficiency. The bush wilted, despite watering, you need to remove the diseased plant and determine the cause. Often this is due to root rot with improper care. It is no longer possible to save such a plant; measures must be taken so that the infection does not spread to neighboring bushes.

Useful properties of dill

You can use greens as they grow. The herb acquires the greatest aroma during the formation of the inflorescence, before its disclosure. At this time, fragrant greens are harvested for winter use. The substances contained in this spicy greens have a beneficial effect on the body in small quantities. In addition to cooking, where dill is indispensable, it is used for medicinal purposes:

• reduces blood pressure in hypertensive patients;
• improves the digestive tract;
• has an analgesic effect;
• improves the functioning of the genitourinary system;
• improves lactation.

Dill oil and seeds are used with special properties in use as medicines. However, you can not abuse fresh herbs, you can lead your body to a reduced tone and drowsiness.

The result of planting dill before winter - video

Thanks to its spicy aroma, dill has become a regular regular in any garden. However, despite the general unpretentiousness, planting a culture often ends in failure. What is the reason for this phenomenon, and what you need to know in order to properly grow dill on your site in spring, summer and autumn?

Features of growing dill

The ideal temperature for the growth of dill is + 15- + 20 C. Due to this property, it is better to grow a plant to obtain fragrant leaves in spring and autumn. In summer, however, they are usually planted exclusively to obtain umbrellas.

Gardeners who want to harvest spicy greens in the summer should take into account one caveat. When daylight hours lasts 10-14 hours, dill actively forms new leaves, and as soon as the day begins to last 15 hours, the culture instantly releases a peduncle. Therefore, in late spring and early summer, early varieties that ripen quickly are undesirable to plant.

Before winter, dill is sown when the soil is not frozen yet. For sowing, rows are made with a depth of 3.5 cm in the garden bed. To achieve good germination, the seeding rate of planting material is increased by 25%.

When to plant dill: planting dates

The optimal planting time depends on the purpose for which the fragrant greens are grown. So, in spring and autumn, dill is planted to get greenery, and in summer - umbrellas.

Dill planting dates for each season are as follows:

• In the spring planting the plant is carried out immediately after the temperature rises to + 2- + 5 C, and the soil at the selected place has finally thawed. Depending on the geographic location of the region, planting dates vary from mid-March to mid-May.
• Summer you can plant greens at any time. To constantly have fresh greens, the plant is planted 3-4 times every 15-20 days.
• In autumn the crop is sown in October-November. Before winter, a plant is sown in order to speed up the appearance of leaves in spring: the first harvest of winter dill can be harvested 2 weeks earlier than spring dill.

How to plant dill in open ground: preparation and planting

Even novice gardeners who recently acquired their own plot know that before planting dill seeds in the ground, you need to study the features and requirements of a cultivated plant. What is worth knowing?

Video: we sow dill in open ground

How to choose a place for planting and prepare a garden

For planting dill, it is better to choose a sunny bed or a bed in partial shade. Plant a crop not in the shade: due to the lack of sunlight, the bushes grow thin and lose their original color. Since aromatic greenery prefers to grow on loose soils and does not tolerate waterlogging, sow a crop in places where it is often stagnant water or wherever they approach the surface groundwater is not allowed.

The plant prefers to grow on neutral soils... Dill growing in acidic soil turns red, and in alkaline soil it turns yellow. In both cases, the plant develops slowly, resulting in delayed harvest of spicy greens.

Better neighbors and predecessors for dill are cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage and other vegetables, under which a lot of fertilizers were applied. To prevent plants from competing with each other for nutrients and moisture, greens and vegetables should be placed at a short distance from each other. The only plants incompatible with dill are celery and carrots.

What soil is needed and how to prepare it

Dill loves to grow in loose, nutrient-rich soils. The soil for planting a spicy culture is prepared in the fall: rotted manure or compost is introduced, and then the site is carefully dug up. Substance consumption per 1 sq. area - 5-6 kg. If there is no organic matter, the bed is fertilized with purchased mineral mixtures such as "Kemira Universal", "Solution".

Important! Heavy soil is not suitable for planting a plant: due to poor air permeability, dill is sick and grows slowly.

How to prepare seeds

Due to the content of essential oils, dill seeds have a low germination rate. To improve this indicator, the planting material is poured into a container, filled with warm water (50 degrees) for two days. As it cools, the water is changed every 8 hours.

After two days, the seeds are removed from the water, laid out on gauze and covered with a damp cloth. The bookmark is placed on a plate and left at room temperature for 4 days.As soon as the seeds sprout, the planting material is slightly dried.

If dill seeds are not properly prepared, the first seedlings will appear in 2-3 weeks. Planting material that has been soaked emerges 4-6 days after laying. Moreover, such treatment disinfects the planting material from diseases characteristic of the culture.

Direct landing

Planting dill with seeds in open ground is as follows:

1. In the prepared place, rows are made with a wooden peg or plank with a depth of 2 cm at a distance of 20 cm from each other.
2. Then the depressions are moderately watered and the seeds are sown according to the seasonal seeding rate, which is 1 g / m2 in spring and 2 g / m2 in autumn.
3. The sown rows are covered with dry soil. When dill is sown before winter, the rows are not watered before sowing.

Besides the usual private schemes, used for planting dill carpet scheme. To decorate the site with a lush green blanket, the planting material is evenly scattered over the surface and covered with a rake. The planting site is watered abundantly.

By the way! Dill can be successful grow all year round at home on the windowsill.

How to care for dill after planting

In order for the plant to sprout and please with a generous harvest, dill must be provided with comfortable conditions. What manipulations does the care of fragrant bushes consist of?

Watering

Dill is a moisture-loving plant, so the soil in the garden must be kept moist at all times. However, it is not worth watering the greens too often and abundantly: being in swampy soil, the plants grow slowly and get sick. Moreover, due to excess water, the concentration of oils contained in greens is greatly reduced, which makes them less aromatic.

The plant also cannot grow for a long time in drought: development stops, the leaves become stiff and stretch with nitrates. To create a comfortable environment, the plantings are watered 1-2 times a week. On the hottest days, dill is irrigated by sprinkling.

Top dressing

Fertilizers are not applied for dill varieties with a short ripening period, since the greens are quite enough nutrients that were introduced during the preparation of the garden. If the bushes grow slowly, at the age of 2-3 true leaves they are fed urea or nitrophobic, based on the calculation of 10-15 g per sq.m. beds.

Mid-ripening and late-ripening species of dill are fed twice. First once under the plants that have formed 2-3 leaves, make nitrophosphate, urea in the same amount as for early species. Second once the plants are fed 20-25 days after the first feeding: by 3-4 sq.m. area contribute 15 g potassium salt, 20 g urea... Fertilizers are applied directly under the root, trying not to get on the leaves. After feeding, dill is watered abundantly.

Important! Nitrogen is introduced under the plant only in case of urgent need, since the leaves of the plant are capable of accumulating nitrates.

Weeding and loosening

In order for the nutrients to get into the greens, and not wasted on the growth of weeds, as soon as the need arises, the dill garden must be weeded. In addition, weeds compact the soil and retain water in it, which adversely affects the development of the plant. Since fragrant greenery prefers to grow on air-permeable soils, the rows are loosened after watering or rain. The first loosening is carried out to a depth of 5-7 cm shortly after germination. In the future, the earth is loosened to a depth of 8-12 cm. If the seedlings have sprouted very densely, they are thinned out.

Shelter in the heat

Like most greens, dill doesn't really like the heat. Due to high temperatures, the soil quickly dries up, and the plant stops growing, the leaves become lethargic. So that the greens do not lose their structure and organoleptic qualities, a small canopy is installed over the garden.

Dill pests and diseases

The most popular diseases are false mealy dew and phimosis... The first disease manifests itself on the leaves with a white bloom, the second - with black spots on the stem and leaves. Excessive watering makes dill sick root rot, bacteriosis, curly and curly leaves.

Since dill cannot be treated with chemicals, it is better to take care of prevention in advance. To protect the plantings from infection with fungal diseases, it is recommended to disinfect the seeds, observe crop rotation, monitor the cleanliness of the beds, periodically removing weeds and diseased plants.

If the plants nevertheless become infected with the fungus, the plantings are sprayed with biological products Fitosporin, Trichodermin, Mikosan-V. Since these products are made up of beneficial bacteria, the sprayed greens can be used for cooking as soon as a couple of days after processing. How to process greens and after how long it can be consumed is indicated on the back of the drug packaging.

As for insects and pests, dill is most susceptible to attack. aphids, umbrella and earthen beetles. As soon as aphids have been seen on the plants, the plants are watered abundantly, directing a stream of water to the affected areas (for example, with manganese) or dusting them with ash or powdered sugar. The bushes and the soil around them are cultivated from flea beetles.Fitosporin ".

When to harvest and how to store

Dill can be harvested 30-40 days after germination. The most useful greens are bushes, the height of which is 5 cm. Depending on the needs and preferences, gardeners collect greens, cutting off only individual leaves or the entire stem.

Harvesting the spice after the beginning of flowering is undesirable, since the leaves by this time become tough and not tasty. Leaving the plant in the garden after throwing out the arrow is advisable only if you plan to harvest canned vegetables for the winter.

As for the time of day, it is better to harvest dill in the early morning, after the plant has dried from the dew. Harvesting spice during the day is not recommended: under the influence of hot sunlight, delicate leaves fade.

Greens are folded in bags or containers and placed in the refrigerator. In this form, dill is stored for a week. To prepare fragrant leaves for the winter, they are dried or frozen. After the sun has dried the pre-washed greens, they are placed in jars or bags and stored in a dark place.

Planting dill in open ground is one of the simplest garden manipulations. If you fulfill all the requirements of the culture, the plant will quickly rise and give an excellent harvest. And if you also prepare greens for the winter, you can enjoy the unsurpassed aroma of dill all year round.

Video: the secrets of growing dill

For some, dill grows like a weed, appearing in the garden in different places, sometimes even in the most unexpected places, here and there, and someone all the time unsuccessfully tries to plant it and get a good harvest. Although it is unpretentious in cultivation and care, it does not grow as it should be for everyone. In order to achieve the best results, you need to know the characteristics of dill. We will analyze the rules for planting and caring for this fragrant plant a little below.

Neighborhood with other cultures

In principle, dill does not conflict with other vegetables, herbs, in general, with the fact that almost everyone grows in the garden. The main thing to remember is that you cannot plant dill where there was a bed of celery last year. In addition, planting dill in open ground should be planned so that it does not cause damage. This means that the greens should not grow close to the stem of another vegetable, otherwise it will take nutrients from another plant, sucking out all the juices through the base or roots.

Video "Planting dill for the winter"

In this video you will learn about the results of planting dill before winter.You will see what it looks like, what difficulties you encountered in the process of growing it, what is needed for this event, and the like.

Optimal conditions

If you want to get dill as early as possible, then you need to do in such a way that the sowing of seeds is before winter or in early spring. However, it is worth remembering that planting dill after liming and adding dolomite flour is strictly prohibited! It is also forbidden to sprinkle the bed with ash when sowing seeds. In addition, remember that acidic swampy soil is detrimental to dill, we highly do not recommend planting it there.

The soil is applied in the sunny part of the garden along with deep digging. At the same time, fertilizer must be applied to each bucket of soil. We do not add ash in any case!

Typically, seeds will germinate at 2 to 4 degrees Celsius. The optimum temperature is 16 degrees Celsius. The plant can grow in light shade, but it is better to plant it in lighted areas. Greens are formed when daylight hours are at least 9-11 hours, but in order for seeds to appear, it is necessary that daylight hours are 14-16 hours long.

Dill needs a neutral soil, a sunny place or a very light shade, moderate watering (see that the water does not stagnate) and balanced feeding. It will turn red on acidic soil and turn yellow on alkaline soil. In order for dill to grow healthy, we need a humus layer of soil. Top dressing will help you get a lot of greenery.

Delay the autumn sowing so that the change does not have time to germinate earlier than necessary. First, prepare the first beds. And at the first frost, the seeds are planted and covered with frozen ground.

Soil for planting

Dill planting and care in the open field should take place in wet weather, otherwise the dill will wilt, and its leaves will be tough. The ground should be at least 70% damp, and the air humidity above 60%.

Fertilize the soil before planting. Organic fertilizers - 3-5 kilograms of manure or 6 kilograms of compost.

Mineral fertilizers 160 grams of potassium salt or 220 grams of superphosphate.

Landing

You can sow seeds from mid-spring to June. Before planting, you need to prepare the seeds, that is, germinate them at home. Try to keep them in ash solution for 2 days. Or place it in a gauze bag with warm water for a few days. However, if you are going to plant before winter, you may not need to process the seeds. Also, do not accelerate seedlings with early sowing. If you are sowing at a time when frost is physically impossible, then you can accelerate germination by holding the seeds in special stimulants for several days.

In order for dill to develop, it needs nitrogen fertilizers.

However, greens accumulate nitrates, which negates all of its beneficial properties and sometimes even makes it harmful. Therefore, it is best to feed the dill with already fermented nettle infusion. It is worth noting that this infusion hates aphids! So, you can immediately do both feeding and protection. Do not use insecticides!

If you want to scare off aphids, you can do it by spraying with an alcoholic liquid. It will be enough to use 2 tablespoons of Troy per 10 liters of water and spray. Alcohol should only be ethyl. When the aphid falls, just cover it with earth.

She also hates the smell of thyme. In addition, she is afraid of organic fertilizers and saltpeter. However, it should be remembered that fungi develop on those soils that are filled with nitrogen. Therefore, you need to maintain a balance: do not overfeed, do not pour dill and loosen the soil from time to time.

Perfectly drives away pests of citrus peel or onion peel. They are poured with hot water and infused for several days. If you see aphids, spray the dill with this solution.

If you see that the branches turn yellow, then try feeding the plant with saltpeter, watering at the root.If you see leaves with a red tint, then pour phosphorus. If you see that the bush wilted, despite watering, then there may be several reasons. The most common of these are root rot or improper care. Alas, there is no way to save such a plant.

The seeds are planted a few centimeters deep. Remember that two grams of seeds are enough for one square meter. You can sow dill in rows, but then thinning will be necessary.

Care

Dill is a very unpretentious plant. When leaving with him, the main thing is to follow these rules:

• Water 1-2 times a week.
• Loosen the ground periodically.
• Remove weeds as they appear.
• To thin out unnecessarily dense plantings.
• Feed the plant with potash fertilizers.
• Hilling greens and, of course, harvesting when it is ripe.

You can use greens right away, but if you want to store them, it is better to pull them out during the period of inflorescence formation. At this time, the height will be about 30 cm. Collect the dill in the early morning, in the afternoon it may wilt a little.

If you want to always have fresh greens in the garden, then sow new seeds every few months.

The advantages of planting in open ground are that dill has a huge amount of vitamins, it is convenient to care for and collect sorrel. Also, growing dill in the open field requires a minimum of work and at the same time gives the most vitamin-rich greens. And all due to the fact that he loves long daylight hours, the sun and calmly endures cold and bad soils.

Cons - dependence on weather, short growing period. And the fact that the seeds germinate for a long time due to the content of essential oils. To shorten the time, simply place the seeds in warm water for a couple of days - all the essential oils will go there. Remember to change the water from time to time.

Video "Growing the best varieties of dill"

In this video, you will learn which varieties of dill are considered the best, and how to grow them.

Fragrant dill can be found in almost any summer cottage - it takes up little space, and it is not picky about care. However, green thickets are not obtained by every owner. The article will tell you about the varieties of the representative of the celery family, the nuances of planting and the secrets of growing that will help to harvest a good harvest in the open field.

Description: varieties and varieties of dill

Dill is an annual herb from the Umbelliferae family (celery). He has many varieties, although in appearance, live or from a photo, it is often difficult to determine the belonging of a plant to any of them. For orderliness, they are divided into 3 categories:

• early ripening;
• mid-season;
• late.

The early group includes Gribovsky, Umbrella, Dalny, Grenadier. They are sown in open ground under a film in early spring. From germination to stem formation in these varieties takes 1-1.5 months. They begin to bloom almost immediately, so it will not be possible to collect a lot of greenery. But for preservation or fresh salads it is quite enough.

Dill umbrella

Mid-season varieties ripen 5-10 days longer than early ones and throw out more greenery (up to 10 leaves). These are Uzory, Lesnogorodsky, as well as Borey, Umbrella, Richelieu, Kibray. They can also collect seeds and umbrellas, which are used in seasonings. Late varieties - Buyan, Salute, Alligator, Amazon - form a stem in 65-70 days. These varieties are the most productive: with proper care and watering, they produce more than 10 leaves, therefore they are very suitable for sale or propagation.

Planting a plant in open ground

The main requirements that are important to comply with when landing:

1. Good watering.
2. Soil fertility.
3. Sunny place.

It is important to remember these nuances:

• the culture is resistant to frost;
• the seeds germinate slowly due to the high content of essential oils.

To prepare the garden bed in the fall, dig up the soil to a depth of 0.2 m, apply mineral fertilizers and humus. Planting can begin at the beginning of April (for an early harvest), since the dill will withstand -4 C.

There is a practice of plant propagation in winter.With proper care, you can eat greens a couple of weeks ahead of time. Clear the bed of snow and scatter the seeds over the surface. Cover with compost mixed with soil. At the moment the snow melts, the seeds will be drawn into the ground along with the water and germinate. In early spring, cover the crops with foil, fixing it around the edges.

Dill needs to be fed

Dill care

To keep the dill plantation green all the time, sow the seeds twice a month. The technology of planting and caring for late varieties is different: you need to maintain the seeding rate at the level of 2-3 kg / ha. So the plants will have a sufficient area of ​​nutrition and at the same time - protection from weeds. Dill care comes down to the following manipulations:

• abundant watering;
• fertilizer - with poor development;
• treatment in case of illness.

Attention! In the phase of 2-3 leaves, it is necessary to thin out the dill shoots. Leave 8-10 cm between the plants. Then they will grow bushy.

Fertilizing and feeding dill

Fertilization is generally not practiced as part of dill maintenance. It is believed that for the successful cultivation of the plant, it is sufficient to add additional fertilizers before planting. But if the soil was still poorly fed with nitrogen, the dill will turn yellow. In this case, it can be fed with urea (1 tsp per bucket of water), mullein (1:10) or Biudom (1:20).

Collection and propagation of a plant

Removing dill, first of all, thin out densely growing areas. If the plant has reached a height of 20-25 cm, you can cut off the entire umbrella, leaving a growing point. Another option is to tear off 2-3 sheets gradually. If the inflorescence has grown large (from 50 g), you can remove the plant by the root.

Advice. The most fragrant dill is the one whose umbrella has not yet unfolded, but the stems are already full, and the top is about to bloom.

Fallen seeds will go through the reproduction procedure on their own. After overwintering in the open field, they will sprout even better and faster than those sown in the spring. Reproduction of seeds collected in the fall or purchased in the fall should be carried out according to the following scheme:

1. Fold them in a gauze bag and leave for 72 hours in warm water (+50 degrees C), change it periodically.
2. Place the seeds on a piece of cheesecloth, cover with a damp cloth and steamed sawdust. Keep at room temperature until sprouts appear.
3. Dry the seeds just before planting.

Advice. You can take up the cultivation of seedlings on the windowsill. After a month in a container, it is planted in open ground.

Diseases and pests. How to fight

This spicy culture is not afraid of pests in the open field, as it itself fights against them. With its aroma, it attracts predatory insects and parasites, which bring a lot of benefits to the garden. Predators eat pests, parasites harm their health and the integrity of their offspring. Therefore, growing dill on the site also reduces the number of aphids and caterpillars.

Among the ailments that can affect dill are powdery mildew, peronosporosis and phomosis. What the affected plants look like can be easily determined from the photo. At the first symptoms of powdery mildew, spray the plant with sulfur (20 g per bucket of water). In the case of peronosporosis (or downy mildew), copper oxychloride (40 g per bucket of water) or Bordeaux mixture (100 g of copper sulfate and lime per bucket of water) will help. Among the preventive measures:

• observance of culture circulation;
• collecting seeds exclusively from healthy specimens;
• warming up the seed at a temperature of 48-49 degrees C.

Dill can be planted next to vegetables

Dill and its combination with other plants

Many gardeners look at dill as an auxiliary spice plant, so they evaluate it in terms of benefits or harms for the main crops. The combination of a representative of the umbrella family with salad and onions will be successful. If you plant it between cabbage rows, the taste of the crop will improve. And in cucumbers, dill increases the fruiting period. It also has a beneficial effect on:

• potato;
• beets;
• garden savory.

The combination of dill with tomatoes, carrots, fennel, bell peppers is considered unfavorable, but it grows well after tomatoes. Potatoes are also a good predecessor to the plant. After it, they try to plant legumes, potatoes, garlic, onions, tomatoes and peas. Dill is valuable with vitamins C, B and P, carotene, iron, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, essential oils and acids. It is an excellent helper in case of gastrointestinal disorders, diseases associated with nerves. And the taste of spice is an integral part of many dishes and seasonings.
