Has anyone here ever grown their own cumin?

Since I'm doing so much with peppers these days, I thought the
cumin would be an interesting thing to try. It's a member of the
parsley family, and I normally grow parsley as a winter crop. It
will grow in the summers around here, but it doesn't usually take
off until the weather turns cool in the fall. I'm in zone 8b.

And I also wondered how difficult the seed (or fruits, if you will)
are to grind?

I have to put something out there to give the basil a run for its
money!
