Homegrown dill guide

[Yogi]

Fresh dill is a fantastic herb to grow at home—whether in a garden or a pot on your balcony. One of the biggest advantages of growing dill yourself is that freshly harvested leaves have a much stronger aroma and flavor compared to store-bought dill, which loses its intensity quickly.

To prolong the harvest, regularly trim the leaves and remove flower buds early. If you’re growing dill in containers, choose a deep pot (at least 10 inches/25 cm) to accommodate its long taproot, and place it in a sunny location for the best growth.

Thank you for another interesting video Yogi.

I've never realized how deep a pot dill would need. Maybe that's why I never had success with indoor growing.

Would dill be a good companion to horseradish? I think dill and brassicas get along.

Good video and good subject.
But the thinning and harvesting look finnicky and I think I would only leave six plants in the pot. Their lower stems look like they could be beneficially top dressed to keep the plants upright and strengthen the soil to plant connection.
Only plant twelve seed and leave room at the top of the pot for an additional 2" (50mm) of mulch/top dressing. Transplant any additional seedlings to the garden by carefully extracting the root with the seedling.

Homegrown dill is a rewarding herb to grow, offering fresh, aromatic leaves for cooking and seeds for pickling. It thrives in well-drained soil with full sun. Regular watering and occasional pruning help maintain healthy, robust plants throughout the season.

I love the smell too.
