Well, Patricia, this is the $64 question -- would american women do the work
involved?  I don't know?  How many dill pickles would they need to eat?  WOuld
that count?

I don't know where they got the seeds, and neither did the LC.  She was going
to check.  I wonder if someplace that sells this sort of stuff in bulk would
be available.  I also don't know how much water you use -- would this be
enough tea for one cup -- several days worth?  a half cup of dill seeds seems
like A LOT.

But, the more galactogues in the armamentarium, the better.
