How to Grow Dill Without Umbrellas: Notes for Summer Residents
Depending on the needs of the gardener or summer resident, the question arises as to which variety of dill is best to plant and how to do it correctly.
Let's figure out what you need to know to prevent dill from going into an umbel and to keep producing fresh and juicy greens for as long as possible.
Firstly, this factor is determined by the type of greenery you plant.
Those who need preservation should turn to early ripening varieties that quickly produce an arrow with seeds.
And if you need greens, then you should plant late-ripening varieties of dill.
These varieties include:
- Alligator;
- Buyan;
- Goldcrown
- Bushy;
- Kutuzovsky;
- Mischievous.
Secondly, you should follow the cultivation technology. Before planting, it is recommended to soak the seeds in water for two days, then place them in a 5% hydrogen peroxide solution, hold them in it for 5 minutes and rinse with running water.
After soaking, the seeds will germinate no later than 5 days.
Dill does not like stagnant water, so for planting it, choose a bed with loose soil on the sunny side.
