I tell you in what way I sow Dill at the beginning of August and achieve Seedlings already on day 3
Dill is a wonderful greenery, appropriate on the table throughout the garden season, and you need a lot of it for winter preparations! To always have juicy fragrant twigs on hand, I sow it even in August.
But since the favorable weather gradually "flies away", of course, you have to "hurry up" the dill! And this is what I used to do so that the first timid shoots appear already on the 3rd day.
But first I want to note that by its nature, dill seeds need 10-14 days to germinate. In addition to the hard shell, they are saturated with essential oils, which act as inhibitors - compounds that interfere with growth processes.
So the first priority is to rid the dill of all this!
And fortunately, it is not necessary to use expensive, chemical growth stimulants - they are successfully replaced by the proven folk method.
First, dill seeds should be wrapped in a wet cloth and put on the refrigerator shelf for 1 day - low temperature launches a biological "hibernation program" in them and the fact that, in fact, further dill needs to be germinated, there is nothing contradictory.
The fact is that it is natural for plants to wake up and start growing after wintering the seed.
So we use the refrigerator in order to "trick" the dill seeds, to force it to continue to use more vitality for germination.
After 24 hours, you need to move the seeds into a bag and prepare two bowls - with cold water and boiling water. Now the grains must be alternately lowered into them, literally for 2-3 seconds. There should be about 20 repetitions with a water change in total.
Next, the dill grains should be poured onto a damp cloth, covered with it and so left for another 48 hours. During this time, the matter should not dry out.
Finally, dill can be sown! The plot should be well warmed up by the sun and be fertile, for which you can add a little humus to the ground - in advance, 2-3 days before sowing.
In order for the seeds to germinate at the desired time and then the dill does not delay in development, they need to be laid shallowly - literally by 0.5-1 cm.
Having sprinkled the grains with earth, I advise you to lightly crush it with your palm. The soil should be moistened beforehand, but after sowing it is not necessary to water it.
That's all! The dill was in the garden and now in just 3 days you can expect its young shoots!
