The girls were amazing helpers this weekend harvesting the basil we planted from seed in late April. It took us about an hour to trim all the leaves from the plants and then about two hours to make pesto sauce. Now we have sauce for the freezer so we can enjoy pesto all year long. We made our favorite dish, Peppy Pesto Toss, for lunch today.
Wow I never thought those plants would grow that big! I’m so glad that your family had fun growing them and fun eating them too!
