. . . . . . for late June.
I'm growing all these herbs - and they are doing well.
As it's so unbearably hot in many places across the country here right
now, I'm thinking a really 'green post' will be a little cooling!
First pots of Genovese basil are now being harvested for pesto.
Of course there should be garlic here also!!!!! Lots of it.
Using walnuts this year - pine nuts are just so expensive.
I add a little lemon juice to keep the bright green color.
Good ingredients, as always, make good, healthy foods.
Extra virgin olive oil, real Parmigiana Reggiano cheese freshly grated,
fresh nuts of your choice are a must.
pesto - I share a lot and pack the freezer with the rest.
Big pot of sage, smells so good.
Pots of thyme - regular and lemon.
The long leaves? My amaryllis bulbs over-summering - will repot for
the house come early winter.
More pots of basil planted later, also more dill. . . . . ..
. . . . . . because the flowers are tall and pretty.
The current 'kitchen window' vase is of course filled with basil also!
Are you growing herbs?
Which is your favorite?
Mine has to be basil. . . . . . and hopefully there will soon be
locally grown tomatoes available to make fresh summer dishes.
