Because dill is so delicate, seedlings do not replant well.
1. Seeds should be planted into slightly basic soil, an inch deep, in a sunny spot sheltered from the wind.
2. If in a windy area support your dill plant with a stick, and always water well particularly in warmer weather.
3. Don’t grow dill near fennel, as the two can cross-pollinate resulting in seedlings with muddled flavours.
