Dill 
Anethum graveolens
A tall, feathery plant with distinctive yellow blooms, dill grows well in most conditions and is especially liked by gardeners because both its leaves and blooms are useful. The blooms are most well-known for pickling, and dill leaves taste delicious added to fish, potato soup, eggs and vegetable dishes. Dill Growing Tips
Easy to grow. Prefers well-drained soil, but water occasionally in dry weather for more growth. Light/soil require – dill prefers rich, light soil in full sun, but will grow in moist soils Harvest – foliage may be harvested once the plants have become established right up to flowering. Harvest seed heads just as the seeds begin to turn a golden brown. Foliage and seeds can both be dried and stored for future use. Sowing Information Indoors - dill can be started inside in individual pots/cells. Sow 3-5 seeds per cell and thin later to 1-2 plants each. 7-21 days to germination. Transplant to garden using 4" spacing in rows at least 12" apart. Outdoors - recommended planting method - sow in spring as soon as soil can be worked. Plant seeds 1/8-1/4" deep, 2 seeds per inch. Thinning is not necessary, but 4" final spacing produces healthy full plants. Successive sowings can be cone every 3 weeks to harvest fresh dill green continuously. 40-55 days to leaf, 85-105 days to seed.
