Sow outdoors from april, after the last frosts. Sow in a sunny spot or in a big plantpot, because Dill isn't easy to replant. Sow the seeds on the soil and press gently or cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil. Dill needs a sunny spot with some shelter and good drainage.
Don't sow dill next to fennel to prevent cross fertilization. Dill seeds can be germinated for 5 years after harvesting. Harvest often from Your Dill plants to make sure they regrow.
