HOW TO PLANT Old German Dill Seeds
Old German Dill (Anethum graveolens var. germamicum) is a popular herb that is easy to grow and produces flavorful foliage and seeds used in various culinary dishes. Here are the basic steps for planting Old German Dill seeds:
Choose a site: Old German Dill prefers full sun and well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0 to 7.0. Dill can also tolerate partial shade and doesn't require rich soil.
Prepare the soil: Work the soil to a depth of at least 6 inches to loosen it and remove any large debris. You can amend your soil with well-rotted manure or compost if your soil is poor.
Sow the seeds: Sow the seeds directly into the soil about 1/8 inch deep and about 1/2-1 inch apart. You can also start the seeds indoors about 4-6 weeks before the last frost in your area and transplant them to your garden when the soil has warmed up.
Water the area: After planting the seeds, water the area thoroughly to help settle the soil and ensure good seed-to-soil contact. Be sure to keep the soil consistently moist until the seedlings are established.
Thin seedlings: Once they are up, thin them to the final spacing of about 3-5 inches apart, depending on the variety you are growing. This will give them enough room to grow and spread out.
Wait for germination: it can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks for the Old German Dill seeds to germinate. Be patient and keep an eye on the area, watering as needed to keep the soil moist.
Care for seedlings: Once the seedlings are established, continue to keep the soil evenly moist and provide a balanced, slow-release fertilizer if needed. Keep an eye out for pests and diseases and take appropriate action if necessary.
Harvest and save the seeds: Once the plants have developed their seed heads, wait for them to dry and become brownish; you can harvest the seed heads and dry them further by laying them out in a dry area. Once dry, you can shake them and collect the seeds.
It is rich in flavonoids, which have been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. Dill also improves heart health for other reasons. Research on animals shows that dill can also reduce LDL-cholesterol levels.
