    Dill of early varieties pleases with the first harvest of young leaves, but is especially good because it blooms early, quickly forms “umbrellas”. What is very useful for twists - fragrant additives to marinades, pickles.

    Dill of mid-season varieties is universal. True, in cool summer weather, the seeds on their inflorescences do not ripen, therefore, in other northern regions, it is sown mainly on greens.

    Dill of late varieties blooms late, is intended for growing the main, long-lasting salad greens, which are harvested many times over several weeks.

    If dill turns yellow
    I usually do not feed dill during growth. But if I notice that the branches begin to turn yellow, I spill the bed with a solution of herbal mash, mullein (1:10) or urea (1 tsp per 10 liters of water). After that, I do not pick the dill greens for at least three days.

    This master grows with me everywhere: in the spring and in July, I just scatter his seeds in all the beds. I noticed that with such a sowing, it grows into a large bunchy bush.

    Speeding dill

    To dill sprouted sooner, a week before sowing, fill the seeds with hot (+45 deg.) Water. After 10-15 minutes, filter, rinse under cold water and repeat hot “bathing” twice. I wrap the heated seeds in moist gauze, put it in a jar and keep it warm. I dip them in warm water once or twice a day. Sowing to a depth of 1,5 cm in moist soil. After a week I notice the first shoots.

    I noticed several times that dill is not growing as fragrant as my mother-in-law. The real discovery for me was that dill loses its flavor if grown on a shaded bed or if ash or lime is added to the soil before sowing seeds.

    It is believed that dill is a plant that pests bypass. However, this is not so: sometimes aphids settle on it. The complexity of the fight against them lies in the fact that no insecticides can be used, because we mainly use dill without any heat treatment.
    Even to wash off aphids from openwork greens is not an easy task. So, it is necessary to destroy the mash even on a vegetative plant with the help of folk remedies. One of the most effective is prepared from potato or tomato tops. You need to take 2 kg of this raw material, grind it, pour a bucket of hot water, boil for 30 minutes, and then insist for at least 3 hours.

    In the resulting infusion, add 30-40 g of grated laundry or 30 ml of liquid soap — for better adhesion — and spray the plants. It is better to do this in the early morning or evening.

    TO DETERMINE THE FROZEN

    Dill does not like sour soil, so in the fall I put lime, ash or dolomite flour on the garden under it for oxidation.
    You can not sow dill in the shade - there it will stretch and shoot early, the leaves, as a rule, are pale.
    He is afraid of drought - it blooms and does not give lush greens; and vice versa - with regular watering it grows well and gives lush, juicy greens.
    Due to the essential oils, dill seeds are tightly similar, so I wash them in hot water in a cloth bag before sowing and then soak them for 2-3 days, changing the water. On the advice of a neighbor, I soak the seeds in warm milk or yogurt - the result is also excellent.
    In the ground before sowing I close up half a bucket of humus on 1 square meters. m and spill a solution of mullein (1: 10), biohumus or make mineral fertilizers (1 st. l "Kemira-universal" on 1 sq. m).
    As my experience has shown, dill is best sown not in one line, but in a wide stripe - 5-6 cm.
    I make the grooves with the side of the board, pressing it onto the 1-2 cm across the spilled bed.

    In the 2-3 phase of these leaves dill thinned, leaving between the plants 8-10, see
    In order to be with fresh dill green all season, I sow seeds every 2-3 weeks. In early April, early ripening varieties, in the second half of summer - late ripening, which, in addition to greenery, also provide umbrellas for canning.

    If you want to get dill with a rich taste, sow it in a sunny place. The fact is that in the shade of this plant the aroma of the leaves decreases. In addition, do not make ashes and lime for this culture.

    Last year, in early August, sowed dill. He grew weak, with red leaves. Why did this happen, maybe I sowed it late?

      Dill can be sown until the third decade of August, so by the time you are not late. Let's understand. Usually dill blushes when there is a lot of lime in the soil. Therefore, before sowing, do not recommend lime or ash.

      And that the leaves do not acquire a yellow-violet color, do not sow fennel in the lowland, where the water is close to the surface of the soil. If you want dill not to stretch and not turn pale, do not thicken the crops. The optimal distance between rows 20-25 cm, between plants is not less than 10, see. And if you have a sprawling shrub variety, plants should be located through 15-20, see.
      When plants are weak, it means they lack nutrients. It is necessary to feed dill 1-2 times with a solution of Mullein, diluted with water (1: 6) or chicken manure (1: 20). You can use for fertilizing and mineral water, diluting in an 10-liter bucket for 1 st. a spoonful of urea and potassium sulfate. By the way, usually dill is not fed, but if the soil is depleted, it must be done.
