I would only be polite because I know that they can find out in two seconds
who you are and all of a sudden you have a tax audit or you commit suicide 
(ha).  Nobody is really anonymous on here.   

I never had any luck transplanting dill.  I tried to start it inside  and
transplant it out, but  it just sat there & sulked for a long time, and
then just sort of drifted off into oblivion.  Besides that, the Dukat
strain, if that's what you're going to grow,  didn't look all that dwarf to
me when I grew it. In fact, it looked just about the same  as the regular
stuff I  usually  grow.  I think dill is best outside, and  BIG!  More to
eat!  I have a really cool Persian recipe for Basmati rice with lima beans
and a TON of dill.  It is DIVINE, one of my favorite things  to eat in the 
whole world.  It has fried potatoes on the bottom - very  yin, or is it
yang?  I don't know, just that it's delicious!

As  for the pruning of F. benjamina: when you do it, it will bleed this
horrid, sticky latex all over the floor, and your furniture, so put down an
old shower curtain or sheets or newspaper or something on the floor before
you start.  I think I've heard on the Garden Hotline that you can seal  the
cuts closed with an open  flame to keep them from bleeding.   I don't know
if this works, but _YOU_ can try it and tell ME!  My F.b is up to the
ceiling because I just never feel like pruning it!  There's a chair under
the branches, and my husband complains that it's like sitting outside, and
if he wanted to be outside then he'd just go there...etc.  

I love the email address of Christine: BadPlaid!  Very good!
