Garden dill is an easy-to-grow annual herb that does best in a sunny spot with well-drained soil and regular but moderate watering. Sow seeds directly in the garden as it dislikes transplanting, and keep the area weed-free when seedlings are young. Harvest leaves and seeds regularly to encourage bushier growth and delay bolting.
