Many summer residents grow dill on their plots and enjoy using the greens in food both in pure form and for preparing various dishes.
At the same time, sometimes you want the plant not to produce umbrellas, but to delight you with greenery until the first frost.
Let's figure out what needs to be done for this.
Methods of growing dill without umbrellas
The main trick is to properly prepare the seeds for planting. Any variety will do for growing dill without umbrellas.
The seeds should be prepared as follows:
- soak the seeds for 3 days in warm water, changing the liquid every 5-6 hours;
- Place the seeds on a piece of cloth, moisten it and cover it with another piece of cloth;
- Dry and hang the bags of dill seeds for half an hour after the first shoots appear (approximately 4-5 days).

The seeds are planted in holes with a diameter of 10-12 centimeters, but it is not recommended to water them so as not to deepen the planting.
After a couple of days, the future dill is watered, and then the procedure is repeated 2 times a week.
