One pot, with pennyroyal and patchouli was doing badly. I moved it 4 feet away and it is thriving! Go figure. 4 feet, same pot and big difference.<br /><br />Your pesto is gorgeous and the best part is you will have a bit of summer whenever you crack one open (and it's from your own garden).Deana Sidneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14908407077861396161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30577630.post-70815622920370181132013-09-01T11:54:16.497-04:002013-09-01T11:54:16.497-04:00I guess this easy dish is your reward for all the ...I guess this easy dish is your reward for all the work you did with the fava beans! <br /><br />Now how long will that last in the freezer?Zanynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30577630.post-44261697689148709762013-09-01T11:51:56.598-04:002013-09-01T11:51:56.598-04:00I love basilmy really favorite for summer (we are ...I love basilmy really favorite for summer (we are next spring and summe rwe have a lot of basil) I plant always some basil because I love to have for any, Love your pesto!Gloria Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055543111865966546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30577630.post-33485569339109350062013-09-01T10:56:05.819-04:002013-09-01T10:56:05.819-04:00Yaay for backyard basil, homemade pesto and salad ...Yaay for backyard basil, homemade pesto and salad spinners.

Arlotta makes a nice olive oil met them last year at the Garlic Festival at the Garden of Eve. If you have a bunch of Kale around you may like to try your hand at making a Kale Pesto, with toasted walnuts. Your Pesto looks lovely. :)Laura Lucianohttp://www.outeastfoodie.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30577630.post-69495316101469934882013-09-01T09:45:38.515-04:002013-09-01T09:45:38.515-04:00I always freeze several containers of pesto at the...I always freeze several containers of pesto at the end of the summer, and pull it out for pasta or soups at unexpected times during the year.

By the time I realized I didn't have any, it was too late to plant. <br /><br />There are so many varieties now of basil too. It looks like you may have "put up" the Genovese variety. I LOVE the purple ornamental basil too but I've never made pesto from it. <br /><br />Well, at least now I know where I can get some fresh pesto in the dead of winter. I'll just have to go down to Long Island!<br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing, T.W...Enjoy your weekend:) ~~louise~~https://www.blogger.com/profile/07335196139849995706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30577630.post-53108932102416394422013-09-01T07:23:00.400-04:002013-09-01T07:23:00.400-04:00Great idea to use the salad spinner for drying the...Great idea to use the salad spinner for drying the basil.
