This basil is awesome. It's called Lettuce Leaf M Lettuce. I see why they call it that. I made pesto this morning for the green bean salad I posted about a few weeks ago. I'll show pictures of the salad later. It's very yummy though...I alrady tasted it.Green Thumb Sunday

Now that's what I call BASIL!!! I just planted some Thai Basil last weekend, but I'm expecting some average sized leaves on that! Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteI bet that Pesto tastes great. There's nothing like using fresh ingredients.

Hi Danielle,
ReplyDeleteYou just reminded me that I have a packet of "Black opal" basil I need to sow before I forget again. Nice plant.

Danielle, I'm so jealous of your fresh basil! Gorgeous. I've heard of the lettuce leaf variety, but have never tried it. It looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteHoly Basil! That's awesome. Great photos, too.
ReplyDeleteAmazing! I had no idea there was a varity that got that big. Mine are little baby things compared to yours, but I think I'll make pesto tomorrow night anyway, lol! Visiting for Green Thumb Sunday.
ReplyDeleteWow I've never seen basil like this before. I wonder if I can get seed in the UK.
ReplyDeleteYou've made me so hungry!
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful to see your garden producing such yummy stuff! That basil looks terrific!
