Description
Fernleaf Dill
This distinctive dill grows much shorter than its tall cousin, but is used in the same ways. Seed heads are must for pickling. Its fern-like foliage is used to flavor seafood, poultry, eggs, and salads. A prolific producer. Packet is 0.25g.
Planting
Sow in late spring in full sun and average soil, or anytime in warm climates. Starting indoors is not recommended; dill does not transplant well. Keep soil evenly moist until plants emerge.
Harvest
Cut the leaves anytime as needed. For pickling, cut seed heads before yellow flowers appear. Allow flowers to produce seeds for dried use.
