Dill is an herb which is grown in many countries worldwide and used in as many cuisines. The seeds of the dill plant have a savory flavor some think is similar to that of a combination of anise, parsley and celery, but has an aroma of a mix of citrus, fennel and mint. Dill seeds are often used in making dill pickles.

How much dried dill weed equals head of dill weed?

When using dill, you will find that both the feathery leaves and the flower heads can be used. Most often the flower heads are allowed to mature and harvested as dill seed. I usually get about a tablespoon of dried dill seed per plant (plants often have more than one seed head). I also dry the leaves, and because they are so fine I don't get much dried dill (1 -3 tablespoons per plant) from each plant.

How do you get the seeds from the gerbera daisies?

In the US, when dill is grown as a farm crop, they are usually harvested with a combine harvester. The cylinder speed and fan speed must both be turned way down, due to the lightness and fragility of the seed. To hand harvest some dill seed from your garden dill plants, you can just wait until the seed gets dry enough to be pulled off the seed head relatively easily and just "rake" the seed head through your fingers, palm up to catch the seed. Have a bag or other container handy to put the seed in, and you can have a lot of seed gathered up in just a few minutes.
