First, I want to thank you all for all the great replies on my question. I sincerely appreciate the help.
@Elaine, the last couple winters, we have received several inches of snow in May causing havoc on new growth, etc. so I typically get stuff out nearer to Memorial Day. As per your advice, I planted up some Dill this afternoon and placed the cow pots in other pots and put them in the window sill. I am excited!
@Roy, thank you kindly. I love your idea as well and now thinking of a spot where I can do this as well. I want A LOT of dill so even with starts inside and trying this method, I can't have too much. I am also happy they self seed for they can come back as often as they like.
Thank you!
@Sequoia, I love the Sunset books and I am going to check out their offerings. Thank you!
I thank you all again so much for all the help. I will keep you posted on my progress.
