From seed it takes about 8 weeks for the plant to reach maturity, from then on prune the top third of the plant every 2 months. Remove flowers by pinching before they go to seed, this will keep the plant from dying off which happens after the seeds drop.
For small amount of dill, use your fingers to remove a few branches from the top of the plant. Be careful not to pull it from the pod.
For large amounts of dill, the whole stem can be harvested. Up to a third of the plant can be harvested for smaller amounts if you wish to keep the plant alive.
Trim leaves from the top to boost bushier growth rather than upward growth.
