Basil time!! The only thing in Eliana's garden that is ready for harvest is basil.
Basil is great to make pesto, bruschetta, infused oil, fresh spaghetti/pizza sauce or even to make a margherita pizza.
When harvesting make sure to cut above the node so that we don't kill the plant. Cutting above the node allows for side shoots to produce more basil for a continuous harvest (and a bushier plant) and prevents the plant from bolting (going to seed).
Check out the video to see what a node is and to hear Eliana's favorite thing about basil!!
Next up to harvest will most likely be radishes with green beans to follow. We will let you know when for sure!
