Our little backyard garden experiment seems to be flourishing! I could use a good pesto recipe for the basil, and the oregano and mint are doing quite well too. We've also seen our first ghost pepper this week, our first ripe tomato, and squash is on its way.
More on the flowers in the front another day (when I've caught up on weeding and am not too embarrassed to take pictures)!
I'm moving to Holland in about a month (Michigan, not overseas!) and my new apartment is going to have a balcony--this is making me want to have a mini garden out there!
ReplyDeleteYou should! We had a little container garden on our balcony at our first place in Alexandria. It was great! Just watch out for the squirrels!
DeleteHow exciting! I guess the hot weather is good for something....
ReplyDeleteI've been really loving this pesto version lately... http://theshiksa.com/2013/03/17/seared-salmon-toasted-almond-pesto/ It's light and fresh and does happen to be pretty awesome on the seared salmon (and anything else you'd like pesto on) :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe! I tried it on pasta the other night and will put salmon on the menu soon. Looks yummy!
