RE: PRESTO PESTO #FOODFIGHTFRIDAY
Always awesome to have yummy stuff like that squirreled away for the lean months! Though my boyfriend knows better than to steal my lunch or he might lose a limb, haha. ;) Our first round of basil didn't take off, so we're trying another round since we've still got plenty of warm weather ahead. Fingers crossed it does well this time as I love fresh basil!
Hello there fellow #farmer. My basil was doing poorly in the beginning so my hubby @thebigsweed did a little research and found that we needed to lower the ph in the water. We have the stuff to add to the water to do that, lower the ph. It worked wonders. My basil just took off, remember also basil needs lots of sun 6=8 hrs. a day. Hope you get a second harvest, basil is a beautiful thing, I can sniff it for hours. hahaha
Thanks for the tips! We got purple basil seeds this time around, so I really want the double whammy of that beautiful smell and the pretty color! The seedlings are starting to sprout, so hopefully we can keep them going big enough to actually harvest. :)
Good luck with that !
