Growing dill (video)
Dill is almost everyone's favorite herb. It's hard to imagine a first course without adding dill. It also goes well with main courses and salads. Wide use dill for salting and preserving vegetables. In addition, it is rich in nutrients, and in early spring is almost the main storehouse of vitamins.
Dill is not a whimsical plant, it is not difficult to grow it. But, like most plants, it requires special care and can be subject to various diseases (powdery mildew, fusarium wilting and black leg).
The main secrets of growing dill are offered in the video.
Hello, very good video. Thanks to the author. So I wanted green fragrant dill. I love it very much, and as soon as dill appears, I use it in all dishes and just eat it raw. I really like salad: finely chop a lot of dill, add feta cheese or cottage cheese, a little sour cream. Very tasty and healthy. Fortunately, there is a lot of dill in the garden. I do not sow it, it sows itself. And in the spring, when there is still nothing, and the dill is already turning green all over the garden. It also happened that it took out part of the dill along with the weeds (there was a lot). Now a little less. I didn't have bushy dill. But I really liked him. I will definitely sow it this year.
In our summer cottage, no one has grown spring dill for several years. A sprout comes out of the ground, collected in a cam. The slope of the mountain is one large anthill, and spring dill can only be grown in greenhouses. For several years now I have been growing bush varieties. The seeds are expensive, there are few of them in the package. Out of despair, I began to grow seedlings, but it turned out that I hit the spot, as I was convinced by watching the video. I plant seedlings in the garden in May and, surprisingly, the aphids do not approach such a bush. True, at a later date, closer to mid-June, dill also begins to grow from seeds, the pest, apparently, leaves for other plants.
If you plant dill with seedlings, it does not thicken, it grows at ease, there is a lot of greenery and it is fragrant. Recently, I have not been harvesting for the winter by drying, but by freezing the branches in the freezer. The aroma of summer is fully preserved.
