Winter sowing (direct, February)
Dill is a perfect crop to winter-sow. It means I can take a good harvest of dill for the freezer before the other crops need the space. I have to be very efficient with the area I've got — anything I can finish early is a win. I used to interplant dill with cucumber, but these days I grow dill first and cucumber with the corn later.
