What a Dill
Anethum graveolens 'Mammoth' ~ August.05
Did some research on dill and did you know... 'Although dill is native to the Mediterranean and Black Sea regions, the name probably comes from the old Norse word dilla, which means "to lull or put to sleep." In colonial America, children were given dill seeds to chew on during church to keep them quiet, giving rise to the common name "meeting-house seeds." '
