Dill - Sprinter - 100 g - Rapid growth, early harvest - Fresh Seeds

Sprinter dill is an exceptionally productive variety characterized by a dense, bushy habit and intensely green, feathery leaves. It bolts late, meaning it retains its freshness and distinct aroma for a long time. The juicy leaves are rich in natural essential oils, traditionally valued for their taste and culinary uses. Sprinter is excellent for harvesting fresh, drying, and freezing, ensuring constant access to aromatic seasoning throughout the season.

Sowing

Seeds are sown directly into the ground on a carefully prepared, loosened, and weed-free site. To maintain continuous harvests, it is worth carrying out successive sowings every 2-3 weeks. After sowing, it is recommended to gently press the soil surface so that the seeds have even contact with the ground.

Sowing depth

Dill seeds are placed at a depth of 1-2 cm and lightly covered with soil. Shallow sowing makes it easier to maintain constant moisture and promotes quick, uniform emergence.

Sowing time into the ground

The optimal sowing time ranges from early spring to mid-summer, usually from March to the middle of July, once the soil is warmed up and moist. In cooler regions, the first sowings should begin after temperatures have stabilized above freezing.

Spacing

Rows are marked out approximately every 30 cm. After emergence, plants should be thinned, leaving 5-10 cm spacing in the row. Maintaining proper spacing improves airflow within the crop, limits disease pressure, and facilitates care and harvesting.

Site

Sprinter dill grows best in full sun, on fertile, humus-rich, medium-compact, and well-drained soils. The substrate should be moderately moist but not waterlogged. The inclusion of organic fertilisers favours intense growth and a strong leaf aroma.

Cultivation

Cultivation is uncomplicated and requires no specialized treatments. Key aspects include regular watering during dry periods and systematic weeding. Frequent harvesting of young greenery stimulates the plants to regrow and extends the usage period of the bed. The late flowering of the Sprinter variety additionally increases the harvest window.

Harvest time

Harvests are carried out successively from May to October. Young leaves are cut just above the ground or individual shoots are removed as needed. Regular harvesting ensures a delicate structure and full aroma.

Usage

Fresh Sprinter dill perfectly enhances the taste of soups, cold soups, sauces, fish dishes, and potato meals. It is perfectly suited for marinades and preserves. After drying or freezing, it retains its aroma, allowing it to be used outside the season.
