The period when dill can be sown is quite long – from early spring until October (before winter).
Greens are often used as a seasoning and for preservation. Dill is sown in spring, when the soil has warmed up to +2 …+5 °C.
When choosing a place to grow greens, an important role is played by what plants will surround the dill.
What plants do not like the neighborhood with dill
It is not recommended to plant dill near dill. There are two reasons. Firstly, the plants mutually slow down each other's development. Secondly, the carrot fly can attack dill.
The proximity to watercress also leads to competition, the plants develop worse. Agronomists advise maintaining a distance of at least 5 m between them.
Basil also has a negative effect on carrots. Parsley is also an undesirable neighbor.
Where is the best place to plant dill?
Experienced gardeners recommend sowing greens next to cucumbers, tomatoes and radishes. The latter is believed to ripen faster due to the oils that dill releases into the soil.
Onions and dill make a great tandem. The first one repels aphids, and the second one protects the vegetable from the scorching sun.
