I have a problem growing Dill from seeds. They sprout abundantly, but the plants never seem to develope those luxuriant fronds that I have see in the fresh herb section of the grocers. My plants do grow, but they are spindly and the fronds are thin and sparse. Hardly good enough, or worth picking, to use in cooking and canning.

Do the dill seeds come in different variety names? Maybe I don't buy the right variety? Does it need a certain type of soil to grow in? Perhaps the developing plants need special feeding? Where is the best source for dill seeds?

I do great with parsley and basil, but not dill ! Would love to hear from someone who knows all about growing dill !!
