Save the seeds and the leaves. You can harvest the leaves and fry them out by freezing - laying them flat on wax paper and freeze for about an hour. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Just before using, squeeze the leaves between your fingers to release the oils and make them like fresh again.

Hi,
yes you do want to keep the soil somewhat moist, so that it does not form a crust on top, or the little seedlings have a hard time breaking through.
The dill seeds should not be planted very deep anyway,
I used to use a spray bottle to moisten the soil every so often until the seeds sprouted.

In what is the best environment to grow dill?, Alright, I've got the dill seeds, now what?

Plant according to the pack look on the back. Pay particular attention to the PLANTING DEPTH. It's very shallow full sun well drained soil. If you are going to plant in the garden lay a small board over where you sew the seeds this will help to fight off a hard rain until they germinate. Soon as you see some sprouting remove the board and let them grow.
