Could it be dill? (lemmy.world)

I've tried planting lots of herbs but usually they won't grow. This time I was trying dill in a couple pots under different conditions to check what's work best. But I think this is actually moss?

Not dill. Looks like there’s some moss there. The bot might be right. More light,less water if it is moss.

Yea, moss. Dill needs to be sown very shallow, 1/8-1/4". Just a sprinkle of soil on top.

I've tried it all, didn't work. Maybe it's still too cold, I'll try again in December.

Oh it's definately what the bot says, I got a search with that name and when I saw this flower I knew it. I get a lot of these but never identified when it's super small.

Well, still trying to figure out how to grow dill.
