Dill - Anethum graveolens

This is a very healthy, and very about-to-be-eaten-by-me, member of my plant collection. Originally dill was native to southwest and central Asia. However, dill has been transplanted far and wide, probably due to its deliciousness: apparently there is evidence of dill cultivation in Switzerland dating back to the Neolithic era.
