The USDA Zone info is a great tool for gardeners to help us figure out your gardening schedule. The most important data that the zone info tells us is average last frost and the lowest expected temperature for your area.

In Brazil you can determine when it's the best time to plant dill by referring to the USDA zone info.

Dill do ok in mild cold which means that you can plant them slightly earlier in the year than more sensitive plants.

The last month that you can plant dill and expect a good harvest is probably August. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your dill may not have a chance to grow to maturity. You can get started a little bit earlier by starting your dill indoors.

Last Frost Date

The average date of last frost is April 15 in Brazil. You can expect an average low temperature of -15°F in the coldest months of winter.

Just be sure to remember that the actual date of last frost is not always accurate because it is based on the USDA zone info for Brazil and it can change quite a bit from year to year. Half of the time in Brazil you get surprised by a frost after April 15 so make sure that you are ready to cover your dill if you have a late frost.
