I'm not great at growing stuff, but i do have a little herb garden, with thyme, origano, basils, celery, parsley and chives all thriving very nicely. What i would really like, though, is a nice big clump of dill. I can grow anythign else but not dill. And dill is impossible to find here except as a plant in a pot. (For some reason it;s used in cuisines from scandinavia to greece, why on earth not in Italy?) Anyway, my terrace where i would have to grow it in a pot, is very hot and sunny (but it does grow in greece, which is just as hot and sunny) and i do have a watering system on a timer, so it gets water. I could, if necessary, hide it in the shade of a bigger plant if it needs shade. It will grow a bit and then just dry up (or go to seed) and never turn into a nice bushy plant, even though i always buy a plant already started. Does it need fertilizer? sandy soil? something i haven;t thought of
any green thumbs out there that can help me?
