Tips Needed on Germinating Dill Seeds

greenthumbomaha · January 4, 2019

I have the opposite situation of a dill invasion. Either mine doesn't come back, or something (besides caterpillars) is eating it while still small.

Any tips for germination? I've tried in situ, nada for me.

I had success one year starting in a pot and planting inground, but I can't duplicate it.
I bit my lip and purchased a plant last year, fortunately it took and reseeded, as in one more plant, very late in the season.

I'd love to grow more and have several varieties ready to go, but how does this magic happen?

Addition: Any winter indoor growers of the shorter varieties?
