I can't wait for some fresh pesto. I make large batches in the summer, freeze it in ice cube trays, and then transfer the cubes to plastic storage bags. We have pesto all year.

I really like the look of that boxwood basil and love the rosemary topiary. I have a secret obsession with the smell of rosemary. My neighbor has a huge hardy one growing in between our homes and I always have to rub it when I walk by so I can release that wonderful fragrance - sick, huh?Southern Fried Galhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11772821883734481802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3280528125557496175.post-62505023014889382822009-04-24T20:15:00.000-05:002009-04-24T20:15:00.000-05:00I love the smell and taste of basil.
