Features of groups of varieties of dill

Dill varieties differ very markedly. They can have completely different rosette shapes, the degree of dissection and color of the leaves, as well as the length, width and shape of the segments located at the end of the leaf.

It takes a little time from sowing, when stems begin to form on the dill, which means that the first crop can be harvested. It is by the time of the beginning of stem formation in dill that one can judge the belonging of a variety to one or another group.

So, the first group includes varieties of dill, which in central Russia begin to stem formation a month or a little more after sowing. Dill of this group, perhaps, is not very good in that almost immediately after the beginning of stem formation, it proceeds to the formation of an inflorescence and forms no more than six leaves (with a lack of moisture in the soil, there can be only four of them).

Group two - these are mid-season dill varieties. In them, stem formation occurs 45-50 days after the emergence of seedlings on the soil surface. Including due to this property, the varieties of this group form up to ten leaves, which indicates a very solid yield of dill, and a more extended consumption of fresh green mass of this plant. It is clear that mid-season varieties, in addition to the green mass, form umbrella inflorescences already in the current season, allowing them to collect seeds, or self-sow themselves.

The third group includes late-ripening varieties of dill. They have a powerful and well leafy rosette, in which there are always more than ten leaves. Varieties of the third group give the maximum yield, but it will take almost two months to wait for it. From plants belonging to the third group, you can harvest fresh greens for as long as possible.
