Dill is also a cool-season herb, but its growing habits are somewhat more variable than the others. Some gardeners find it will live for months in their spring or fall garden, yet other gardeners find it declines within a few weeks. Seeds of dill, sweet basil and cilantro are usually available from nurseries. Seeds of chervil, summer savory and the fancy basils, such as lemon, anise and cinnamon, will probably need to be ordered from specialty seed companies. With the South Bay's long summer, it is still possible to have a rich harvest of basil or summer savory.
Most nurseries carry sweet basil plants and seeds of summer savory well into the season.
It is also the time to order seeds of cilantro, chervil and dill for the fall. The information you receive on-line from Mercury Center is protected by the copyright laws of the United States.
