Rainy day here in the Miami Valley. I've harvested asparagus, towards the end of the season, and Basil at the beginning of the optimal basil season.
Beat the latest squall by about 8 minutes!! Now on to making some pesto, and preparing a veggie basket for the houskeeper.

Harvesting your own asparagus and basil must be so satisfying, especially when you get to enjoy the freshness and flavors in your dishes. I love using fresh basil in pesto—it adds a burst of aromatic goodness. By the way, have you heard about purple basil? I recently read an article about the benefits of purple basil, like its high antioxidant content and anti-inflammatory properties. It's pretty cool how herbs can offer both taste and health perks. Keep enjoying your gardening adventures, and happy cooking! Oh, by the way, I'm new here on the forum.

The Miami Valley is in Ohio.
1.75 inches of rain today in Omaha. I had basil in the raised bed gardens the last few years, and last year the bunnies decimated the basil. This year I planted the basil on the deck in pots, and I have a bumper crop. I think I over planted. Have made pesto 3 times so far, and might well be making more pesto soon. Of find another use for alllll that basil.

I've been making pesto of various concoctions and giving both pesto and fresh basil away to the neighbors. Soon they'll stop answering their doors.
