Growing Information

Planting

  • Sow Mammoth Long Island Dill directly into the garden or containers after the last frost, as dill does not transplant well.
  • Plant seeds in loose, well-drained soil and cover them lightly to encourage even germination.
  • Space plants to allow a mature spread of approximately 12 inches and ensure good airflow.
  • Seeds typically germinate quickly, leading to plants that reach maturity in about 60–70 days.
  • Choose a full-sun location to promote strong, flavorful growth and well-developed foliage.
  • Avoid planting near carrots to reduce potential cross-attraction of pests.

Maintenance

  • Dill grows best when kept consistently moist but not waterlogged during its early stages.
  • Once established, the plants tolerate brief dry periods while still producing abundant foliage.
  • Tall stems may require light staking in windy areas due to the plant’s mature 24-inch height.
  • Removing early flower heads can extend the leaf-harvest window for cooks who prefer fresh foliage.

Harvest & Storage

  • Begin harvesting dill leaves once the plants are well established and producing full, feathery foliage.
  • Pick leaves in the morning when their essential oils are most concentrated for the brightest flavor.
  • Regular harvesting encourages fresh growth and helps maintain tender, high-quality foliage throughout the season.
  • Fresh leaves can be wrapped in damp paper towels and stored in the refrigerator for several days.
  • For longer storage, dill leaves can be gently dried or frozen to preserve their aroma and culinary value.
