At the end of the current season, an experienced gardener is already thinking ahead about next year’s harvest.

This means that we need to choose the crops that we will plant in the winter.

After that we have a preparatory stage. Not only onions and garlic can be planted before winter. Dill will also be able to develop well.

What rules need to be followed for this?

Prepare the soil in advance

It's not so much about the bed itself, but about the soil that we plan to sprinkle the dill planting material with. It's best to collect the required amount of soil in advance and store it in a shed or house.

Make sure that the soil does not freeze.

Planting material

The best results are obtained from seeds collected independently. However, in any case, you can purchase planting material from a trusted manufacturer.

It is important to remember that when planting dill in the winter, you should use a third more seeds than usual.

Weather

Not everyone knows that dill should only be planted in cold weather. We are not even talking about the first frosts: it is important to wait for real cold weather.

If you follow these simple rules, you will be able to enjoy young and juicy dill in early spring.
