Basil

Basil is,by far,my favorite herb. My husband tried planting some in January. He kept saying "They said it couldn't be done!" But really it couldn't. Hah. It popped up but was bitten back by a few brief cold spells. But now, finally, we have basil all over the yard. There is never enough basil for me. Soon we will be making what I call Texas Pesto, using my neighbors free pecans in place of pine nuts. Yum! Pesto pizza, pesto sauce, pesto dip...
