Question

I couldn’t let the frost kill the basil in my mother’s garden, so I cut the plants and have them in water. I think I need to make pesto, and lots of it, right away. Sorry about the sideways pic.

Answer 1

Get rid of the flowers and stocks, make pesto and freeze it in ice cube trays, that way you have portions that are easy to use.

Answer 2

Pesto freezes well...make batches of it!

Answer 3

I just planted some basil about 3 weeks ago. They are coming up nicely and growing well. My gardening references say we can plant Basil this late in Texas and get a decent return in late Oct early Nov.

Answer 4

Ooh, I should pull mine up and do the same!

Answer 5

Looking at the picture makes me wonder if it's sideways because it won't fit vertically?

Answer 6

Ah, the scent of basil. I once named a cat Basil. He did not smell as sweet. =0}

Answer 7

Wow - that's some beautiful basil!

Answer 8

I must smell just wonderful in her house!
