You can start Dill seeds indoors using a heat mat to encourage germination. Once the seedlings sprout and grow a few sets of leaves, move them outdoors. Keep the soil moist and provide 6–8 hours of sunlight daily. When direct sowing Dill seeds, plant them about 1/4 inch deep in well-drained soil, spacing them 12–18 inches apart to give them plenty of room to grow.

To harvesting dill wait until the plant has reached a height of about 8 to 12 inches and has developed a sufficient number of leaves. To harvest dill, use clean scissors or gardening shears to cut the feathery leaves. Start by snipping the outer leaves, allowing the inner leaves to continue growing. Harvesting from the top down encourages bushier growth. Avoid cutting more than one-third of the plant at a time to ensure continuous growth and production.
