Not a real post, just a quick reminder...
The more you (correctly) prune basil... the more it grows!
Three weeks ago, I harvested, and made about 10 CUPS of pesto (just basil and EVOO. The garlic, Parmigiano, and nuts go in fresh each time I use some).
Today, I harvested again. There was even more basil, and I'm estimating at least 12-14 cups of pesto. And as it's still August, there should be at least two more harvests.
So, seriously, trust me: multiple harvests... multiple pesto productions.
And remember to clear space in your freezer!!!
