It’s Mrs. H-Man here. 
I cut back all of our Genovese basil moments ago and am removing the leaves in preparation of making pesto. There’s roasted garlic and toasted walnuts awaiting these gorgeous and fragrant leaves. My phone will probably smell like basil. Here’s the recipe I made with the basil: Basil and Roasted Garlic Pesto. I used toasted walnuts instead of pine nuts.
We had a great time yesterday. We had a Dave’s Garden Roundup to attend. This is a website we belong to and every year there are what we call Roundup’s all around the country. It’s just a time where we all get together. We usually go to two a year. We go to one in Cincinnati which is where we went yesterday. It is just a one day affair where we all get together for a meal and plant trades. Kimberley took a ton of plants and we came home with two tons of plants. We also had Kimberley’s Mom and Dad with us and they had all there plants too. So we had quite the load of plants. We had a great time with friends and ended up going over to one of the local gardeners house to spend the evening. Last year we spent the night at their place and camped out in our van. This time we drove home. I had to let Kimberley finish out the drive as I was starting to feel myself nod off.
The other one we go to will be in September. That is the one where I usually take time off and make it a vacation. It is an all weekend affair and we camp out at a local camp ground where everyone stays together. It’s always a lot of fun.
Today is just a day of rest we are pretty wore out after the long day yesterday.
