I was thinking as I was posting this that sometime during the summer, you'd said as much. <br /><br />And I'm purely kidding about this not being enough to bother with. It did get off to a very slow start, and we had another one of those extreme drought-or-deluge summers, but one day towards the end of September I looked at them & realized that they'd finally leafed out & it was looking like pesto time. Took me another month to actually pick the stuff but it's starting to cool down here & I noticed when I went sailing on Wednesday that it was looking a little past it's prime. So I just picked all of it & spent the evening making pesto, most of which I will freeze.bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794351142636136626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10267465.post-72413436713246210482011-10-27T17:41:37.554-04:002011-10-27T17:41:37.554-04:00Congratulations!

That'...You're mocking me again, I can tell.<br /><br />That's hardly enough basil to bother with? Well, maybe for a bigtime basil mogul like you.<br /><br />But I did find the key to success this year. Our one potted plant - kept outdoors this time - made it through the entire season, and even flourished. No <a href="http://odock.blogspot.com/2009/11/in-memoriam.html" rel="nofollow">mid-season obits</a> this year.<br /><br />It turns out the little devils are very sensitive to watering, or rather, to the lack of watering. Left dry for a few days in our central valley heat, a potted basil is toast.<br /><br />But a little technology has turned that all around. I hooked up one of those drip watering systems - whose timer has a much better memory than I do - and we've got more basil than you can shake a salad fork at.<br /><br />Still haven't attempted pesto yet. I'm savoring my victories, one at a time.<br><br>O Dockerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08674140306304705852noreply@blogger.com
