Basil (again)

July 15, 2013

I go something unusual yesterday afternoon: sunshine

So I managed to snap a few update pics that I’ll post over the next couple of days while I’ll holed up @ a business “thing”.

First one:

Last year’s basil success seems to be repeatable albeit after a slow start. I have 5 or 6 kinds this year, with an abundance of the nice sweet globe type as well as large leaf Italian…

Presto, it is pesto time. (Groan)

    Do you use any Rock Dust, or greensand for trace minerals?

      Composted dairy manure and bonemeal, plus daily irrigation. It loves water I have found.
