Watch for sprouts in about 7-10 days. The pre-soaking method significantly reduces the germination time.
9. Thinning Seedlings:
Once the seedlings have grown a few inches tall, thin them out, leaving the strongest plants. Space the dill plants about 4-6 inches apart to allow for ample growth.
10. Ongoing Care:
- Continue to water the dill regularly, letting the soil dry out slightly between waterings.
- Dill generally does not need additional fertilization, especially if you added compost to the soil.
11. Harvesting:
You can start harvesting dill leaves as soon as they are large enough to use. Regular harvesting encourages more growth. Cut the leaves close to the stem.
12. Potential Pests and Problems:
Keep an eye out for aphids and other pests. Use an organic insecticide if necessary. Dill can attract beneficial insects as well, such as ladybugs.
Growing dill in pots using the pre-soaking method is a simple and effective way to enjoy this aromatic herb in a shorter time. This approach not only speeds up germination but also ensures healthy, lush growth, perfect for adding a fresh flavor to your dishes.
