Second Chance

Remember that brocolli that looked like it was dying? 

(see last post)

Look what I found today!!

FLORETS!

And here are some on the other plant. 

They still look like they've been attacked, but we'll see if these things make any progress.

And the FIRST HARVEST OF THE YEAR!

BASIL

I felt so cool going outside with my basket and snipping off the basil. I got about 3 cups worth today out of my 5-6 plants. So what did I do?

Make PESTO! of course!!

 If you've ever made pesto, you know how you need TONS of basil to make a decent amount. I froze the rest of the pesto in 5 TINY muffin cups. I figure I'll snip each week and continue to make some pesto. It's SO GOOD. And it is NUT FREE- as are all things in this household (usually!).
