See this blender?
That’s what’s left after three cups of basil leaves, plus other ingredients, go into my pesto (my in the sense I make it — it’s not my recipe). Here’s what it looks like before blending.
TYG has had poor luck in the garden this year: either the deer or the squirrels get the food crops or they just don’t grow. The basil though, is going great. Lots of pesto will go in the freezer over the next couple of months.
The smell of these early leaves is particularly strong and lovely.
