Not to waste the basil mum and dad dropped off – the girls and i made Pesto this morning. Only bugger was that i could not find my pesto jar!

So from the above to the below! Only comment is that since the basil has been growing under the tomato vines they are quite tall a sparse.  Seems like the plant has been putting all the effort into growing tall to compete for light. Putting all its energy into stem girth and not leaf size! Just a thought…
