Seasonal context
Rainfall and the growing season in Hakkâri
March has the highest average precipitation (61 mm); August has the lowest (3 mm). Compare this pattern with the planting windows and your water supply.
During wetter months, check that beds and containers drain after heavy rain. During drier months, plan how you will keep seeds and new transplants watered. Monthly averages can hide long dry spells and intense storms; they do not show soil moisture, humidity or this week's weather.

Local growing check
Before choosing dill for Hakkâri
- March is the wettest month in the rainfall grid, averaging about 61 mm. Check how your own bed drains and plan watering around actual soil moisture; monthly rain totals are not an irrigation schedule.
The temperature and rainfall tables on this page show the underlying climate estimates. How these suitability checks work · Record what happens in your garden.
Before you plant dill
Use the calendar to plan ahead, then check the conditions in your own garden.
- Measure the soil at sowing depth. Aim for at least 10°C (50°F); the calendar estimates soil warmth from air temperatures and cannot measure your bed.
- Check the local overnight forecast before planting out. Delay planting or keep protection ready if frost is forecast, even after the historical last-frost date.
- Use the maturity range on your seed packet when choosing a variety. Cold, short days and transplant stress can make harvest later than the calendar estimate.
Direct-sow for leaves, then reserve plants for seed
Use a sunny, drained position sheltered from strong winds. Tall plants in shade or overly wet ground may flop; a support can prevent stems from breaking while you correct the growing conditions. Sow small batches for a continuing leaf supply.
For seed, let the heads turn brown and dry before collecting them into a bag or tray that catches loose seed. Remove unwanted heads before they shed if you do not want volunteers. Leave enough healthy foliage on plants still intended for seed production.
What to record this season
Which sowing supplied leaves longest, and when did the seed heads become dry enough to collect? Add the cultivar, sowing date and conditions to your growing record so you can compare next season.

Why these dates
Use a sunny, drained position sheltered from strong winds. Tall plants in shade or overly wet ground may flop; a support can prevent stems from breaking while you correct the growing conditions. Sow small batches for a continuing leaf supply.
Check the named variety and local forecast before exposing young growth. The catalog cold-damage figure is a reference, not a guarantee: plant age, acclimatisation, wind and the duration of a freeze affect damage.
This calendar uses frost-relative offsets as a starting point. Dill are timed for direct sowing 0 weeks after it, and this page simply resolves those offsets against the frost date computed for Hakkâri.
The calendar also applies a soil-warming estimate derived from historical air temperatures. Where that estimate is later than the frost-based date, it delays the window. Soil in your own garden can warm earlier or later; a thermometer at sowing depth is a better final check. Cold, wet conditions can slow germination and increase decay risk.
The median frost-free season here is 179 days, against 40 to 60 days to maturity for this crop counted from sowing. That margin is what decides whether a late sowing is worth attempting.
Growing dill in Hakkâri
Can I grow dill in Hakkâri?
The calendar estimates a planting window, not a guarantee of success. March is the wettest month in the rainfall grid, averaging about 61 mm. Check how your own bed drains and plan watering around actual soil moisture; monthly rain totals are not an irrigation schedule.
When should I plant dill in Hakkâri?
Aim for 2-12 May in an average year. If you would rather not gamble on the weather, wait until 14-24 May - by then frost has finished in nine years out of ten.
Can I plant dill earlier in Hakkâri?
The historical frost estimate is 28 Apr. For Dill, an air-temperature model estimates soil warmth of about 10°C (50°F) around 2 May. This is not a soil measurement or a forecast. Check your bed at sowing depth; cold, wet conditions can slow growth and increase decay risk.
When might dill be ready to harvest in Hakkâri?
The estimated period is 11 Jun - 1 Jul, based on 40 to 60 days from the modeled planting date. Cultivar, planting material and growing conditions can change this interval; check the plant as well as the calendar.
How much frost will dill tolerate?
Check the named variety and local forecast before exposing young growth. The catalog cold-damage figure is a reference, not a guarantee: plant age, acclimatisation, wind and the duration of a freeze affect damage.
