Mammoth Long Island Dill Planting Instructions:
1. When to Plant: Sow seeds directly into the garden after the last frost has passed. Dill has a sensitive taproot and prefers not to be moved.
2. Preparation: Choose a spot with full sun and well-draining soil. Because they grow so tall, pick a location protected from high winds.
3. Sowing: Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep. Dill loves to "get its motor running" quickly, so keep the soil moist during the sprouting phase.
4. Care: Keep the area weed-free so the young plants don't have to compete. Stake the plants if they become top-heavy with those massive seed heads.
5. Pests and Diseases: Watch for the "good bugs"! You may see caterpillars; they are just visiting before they turn into butterflies.
