I am in Detroit and the earliest of my volunteer dill is about a foot tall
with many more plants just now poking through the straw mulch I put down
last fall for the garlic.

Why not scratch the soil up a little bit, sprinkle some seed and smooth it
all out with your hand? I'd guess that your earlier dill got whacked with
some of the funky weather we've been having and that a second planting
would do just fine.
