Ahh, you should find a pack of dill seed or even buy a jar of them 
(spice aisle of your supermarket) and plant yourself some dill! You may 
find it in the produce section though, often found with fresh basil and 
other herbs in the springtime here. I referred to specifically the seed 
heads in my recipe. There are branches with only feathery leaf and they 
will do in a pinch but if that's all I have I add seed from the spice 
drawer.
