Dill is an important medicinal herb in the Middle East since biblical times. It is known nowadays as an ingredient for dishes with fish, to flavor potatoes, green vegetables, salads and many other dishes. Seeds can be steeped in vinegar to make dill vinegar. Dill is a hardy annual or biennial plant with blue-green color thread-like foliage. Its height reaches from 60cm-1m (2-3ft) and may be grown for foliage or seeds from sowing made in spring or summer.

Grow dill in your garden in full sun and add organic matter to hold the moist in the soil. Dill it tends to ‘bolt’ in poor soil. Good drainage is important but keep the soil damp at all times. It can tolerate soils with a wide range of pH. Dill should be raised only from seeds and should be sown direct into the soil, as it does not transplant well.
